Tall, Dark and Restful
Originally native to Southern Europe, the Mediterranean and North Africa, Lemon Balm grows about 5-feet tall with leaves that emit a fresh lemony scent. As far back as the 11th Century, ancient people believed Lemon Balm sachets placed under your pillow could promote a refreshing and relaxing night of rest.
