Lemon Balm
If herbal lore is correct then you’ll never forget this herb because it’s reputedly a ‘memory enhancing’ herb. It also makes a deliciously lemon soothing tea to calm the nerves. A popular companion plant, the lemon-scented foliage repels mosquitoes and other pests.
A short-lived perennial, prune in autumn to maintain a compact habit. Use fresh rather than dried leaves for maximum flavour.
