Quick Facts (Grow Guide)
| Botanical name | Melissa officinalis |
| Sun | Full sun to part shade (afternoon shade in hot climates) |
| Sowing method | Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost or direct sow after frost; sow very thinly — seeds need light |
| Sowing depth | Surface to 1/16″ (0–2 mm); press in, do not bury heavily |
| Spacing | Thin/plant 12–18″ / 30–45 cm; rows ~18–24″ / 45–60 cm |
| Germination | ~7–21 days at ~65–70°F / 18–21°C (naturally slow/fine seed) |
| Soil | Moist, well-drained; moderate fertility; keep evenly moist to establish |
| Harvest | Snip young shoots regularly; best flavor before flowering |
Ways to Use
- Tea: fresh or dried leaves for calming herbal infusions.
- Culinary: lemony syrups, sorbets, salads, sauces, and garnishes.
- Garden: pinch blooms to focus growth on leaves; ideal for pots to contain spread.
What You’ll Receive
- Select your pack size in the listing variations
- Fresh, Non-GMO seeds in a moisture-resistant packet
- Simple sowing guide
- Germination guarantee — free replacement if seeds don’t sprout
Pro tip: Surface-sow and mist — light triggers sprouting. For bushy plants, harvest often and pinch flower buds; container growing helps limit self-seeding/spread.
