2000 Lemon Mint Seeds – Non-GMO Culinary Herb with Edible Blooms Lemon mint, also known as lemon bee balm, purple horsemint, and lemon mint, is a versatile and visually striking plant native to the U.S. It produces tall, vibrant towers of bright lavender flowers that range from 1.5 to 2 inches in size. These flowers are supported by slender yet sturdy stems, adding a wildflower charm and a spicy citrus fragrance to any bouquet. The blooms and leaves of lemon mint are not only decorative but also edible. The flowers have a refreshing, minty taste and can be used in various culinary applications. You can add the petals to salads, sprinkle them over mild fish dishes, incorporate them into fruit salads, or use them to garnish desserts and beverages. The leaves, which carry a more intense, spicy flavor, are ideal for enhancing the taste of salads, cooked dishes, and teas. In addition to its culinary uses, lemon mint is a valuable plant for attracting beneficial insects. Its nectar-rich flowers draw bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it a great choice for gardens aimed at supporting local pollinators.
