    Grow Lemon Balm Seeds from Seed

    Lemon Balm Seeds — Lemon Balm is the garden's cheerful multitasker — a strongly aromatic member of the mint family whose bright, lemony fragrance lifts the spirits, calms nerves, and naturally repels mosquitoes from garden and patio alike. A natural mosquito repellent, culinary gem, and pollinator magnet in one vigorous, easy-to-grow plant.

    What Makes This Variety Worth Growing

    Key characteristics include botanical Name: Melissa officinalis; plant Type: Perennial (Zones 4–9); planting Time: After last frost (direct sow) or start indoors 6–8 weeks before; planting Depth: ⅛ inch — barely cover; needs some light; spacing: 18–24 inches apart.

    Plan It into the Garden

    Clear planting, spacing and maturity information makes this variety easier to work into a home vegetable, herb or flower garden from the start.
    How to use

    Direct sow in spring, or start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost. Lemon balm grows quickly and spreads enthusiastically — consider planting in containers or trimming regularly to keep it in bounds. Harvest frequently to encourage fresh new growth and prevent flowering, which diminishes leaf quality.

    The Story behind Seattle Seed Company

    Seattle Seed Company represents a side of American craftsmanship that begins before anything is harvested, cooked, or made—it begins with the seed.

    Founded in 2010, this family-owned company operates from Whidbey Island, Washington, with a mission centered on helping people grow their own food while supporting small farms, seed cooperatives, genetic diversity, and more sustainable gardening practices.

    What drew us to Seattle Seed Company is its thoughtful approach to what it sells. The team doesn't simply fill packets with whatever varieties are readily available. It works with smaller farms and seed cooperatives and carefully selects seeds for quality, reliability, and value, while maintaining a commitment to non-GMO varieties through the Safe Seed Pledge.

    We also love how approachable the brand makes gardening. A seasoned grower can choose individual heirloom varieties, while someone who has never planted a seed can start with a vegetable garden collection, countertop microgreen kit, or sprouting kit and experience the satisfaction of growing food at home.

    That's why Seattle Seed Company belongs at My American Goods®: a family-owned American business helping people reconnect with where food begins—one seed, one garden, and one harvest at a time.
