About Lemon Balm
Lemon Balm is a fragrant perennial herb known for its refreshing lemon-like aroma. Both its leaves and flowers release a bright, citrus scent that makes it a favourite in teas, desserts, salads, and herbal remedies. Fresh or dried, the leaves are often used as a natural flavouring in place of lemon, adding a gentle citrus note to meals and drinks.
Hydroponics & Smart Garden Compatibility
Lemon Balm grows very well in hydroponic and smart indoor garden systems, where steady moisture and nutrients support healthy, bushy growth. Hydroponics can promote faster development compared to soil, allowing you to enjoy a continuous supply of fresh, aromatic leaves throughout the year—even in small indoor spaces.
