Melissa officinalis

Melissa officinalis, also called lemon balm, is a deciduous, hardy perennial with a bushy upright shape and opposite, oval, serrated, light green leaves that give off a strong lemon scent when bruised. Lemon balm blooms from June to October, with white to light purple flowers in axillary clusters. The plant prefers a sheltered position in the sun or partial shade, preferably with a southern or western orientation. Melissa officinalis is hardy, fairly drought tolerant, attracts bees and butterflies, tolerates sea breeze and some air pollution. Lemon balm also has a medicinal effect: it has a calming effect, reduces fever and is beneficial against eczema and herpes.
