Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis)
Plant details
Meet this plant.
Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is a leafy perennial with a fresh citrus scent. Grow it near a patio or in an herb container, and harvest leaves for culinary flavoring.
What you receive
One live plant in the selected Medium Coconut Coir Pot. This is a growing plant, not dried herbs, an extract or a supplement. Arrival size and flowering vary.
Growing essentials
- Grow in full sun to partial shade.
- Use moist, well-drained soil and a container with drainage if growing in a pot.
- Trim regularly to keep growth manageable; a container helps keep a vigorous herb within its allotted space.
Shipping preparation
Processing comes before carrier transit. During peak season, processing can take around 1–14 days before shipping. Orders to Hawaii or Puerto Rico may ship bare root instead of in a pot.

Questions about plant options, delivery, tracking, or an order? Inty is here to help before and after your purchase.
Will my plant look exactly like the photo?
Live plants naturally vary in height, branching, leaf count, color, and shape. Photos show the variety and typical presentation.
Can items arrive separately?
Yes. Plants can have different preparation times and packaging needs, so one order may receive more than one tracking number.
What should I do when it arrives?
Unpack promptly, inspect the plant, water only when needed, and let it acclimate before making major care changes.
