Perfect for gardeners who value self-reliance, food security, or a sustainable home apothecary, it’s both beautiful and practical.
Easy to Grow in Many Settings
Lemon mint is an adaptable, hardy annual to short-lived perennial that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Sow seeds directly in the garden or in containers for easy success. This low-maintenance plant readily reseeds itself, providing continuous blooms and fresh leaves year after year.
Pollinator-Friendly Native Wildflower
Reaching 12–24 inches tall, lemon mint produces clusters of lavender-pink flowers with a pleasant citrus scent. The blooms attract beneficial pollinators—especially bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds—while the foliage adds fragrance to garden paths and borders. Non-invasive and manageable, it fits perfectly in herb gardens, wildflower mixes, or pollinator habitats.
Why Gardeners Love Lemon Mint:
- Attracts pollinators: Vibrant blooms bring bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
- Perfect for tea and herbal remedies: Naturally fragrant and flavorful.
- Easy to grow: Reseeds easily and thrives in diverse conditions.
- Beautiful and useful: Adds color, scent, and ecological value to any space.
