GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Direct sow seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and gently press them in, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not soggy and provide them with plenty of sunlight. Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart once they have a few sets of true leaves. Lemon Bee Balm prefers well-draining soil and full sun. Harvest in 60-90 days.
