Two Herbs for Shady Gardens: Lemon Balm and Anise Hyssop

» Carol Wallace - Lemon balm

I love the scent. But then I love the scent of lemon thyme, lemon basil - lemon anything! I only wish mine wouldn't self-sow quite so prolifically. When I wasn't looking it took over half my rose garden! But that isn't all bad - the scent of lemons goes well with the fragrance of roses.

Carol,
Yes, indeed, lemon balm is prolific! Funny, I've got some volunteers among my roses, too. The lemon balm plants that I pull out because they've ventured too far into other plants' areas are my harvest of this herb!

I have been raising lemon balm on my table garden this year - I'd like to put it in the ground under an old austrian pine.

Would I have a problem with that?
