What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Brighten your garden with fragrant lemon mint – a pollinator-friendly herb perfect for teas, natural remedies, and adding beauty to your space.

Why Grow This Variety

Lemon Mint, also called Lemon Bee Balm or Horsemint, is a fragrant herb that brings both charm and purpose to your garden. Its refreshing lemony scent has long been cherished in soothing teas and natural home remedies, offering comfort for the family that values health and preparedness. For eco-conscious growers, lemon mint is a pollinator-friendly wildflower that supports bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds while adding a splash of lavender-pink blooms to any garden or pollinator patch. Whether you’re preparing your own herbal teas, teaching your children about the gifts of nature, or creating a sustainable landscape, lemon mint is a joyful and practical addition.

How to Grow

Lemon mint thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, whether planted directly in the garden or in containers. This adaptable herb grows 12–24 inches tall and often reseeds itself, coming back year after year with little effort. Plant it in an herb bed, wildflower meadow, or along borders for ornamental beauty and lasting fragrance

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.

Are your seeds treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

In what zones can I grow your seeds?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?

Our seeds will generally last for 3-10 years if they are appropriately stored in a cool, dry place. However, we encourage you to grow your survival seeds within a year or two of purchase. This yields the best germination rates possible and also gives you more experience growing survival food now. At the end of the growing season, follow the instructions on the back of each packet for saving seeds for future gardens. These new seeds for survival will be more adapted to thrive in the growing conditions where you are.
