The plant arrived healthy and the leaves have a pleasant citrus scent. It’s grown well in my patio container with morning sun. I use the leaves in teas and find them refreshing.

Beautiful plant with soft white leaves. It’s not as fragrant as other lemon balm varieties, but it looks great in the garden. Needs regular watering during hot weather.
