The students at Troy Howard fell in love right away with this tea and medicine plant from Eurasia. 18" plants send up purple-blue flower spikes that bumblebees love. Dry the tops (leaves and flowers) for a bright lemony tea. Unlike lemon balm, it keeps its aroma well when dried. Cutting encourages re-blooms: students get two or three harvests each summer. Remember to let a few plants go to seed in August so you can collect seeds to share! Surface sow in pots and set out after danger of frost; or direct sow 2 weeks before last frost. Needs light to germinate. Students measure 1 ⁄ 16 teaspoon per packet: approximately 100 seeds. This seed was grown by the students of Troy Howard Middle School in Belfast, ME.
