Description

The listing, Mint, Lemon-25+ Seeds has ended.

This is a herbaceous plant, it is a annual which can reach 61cm in height (24inches).

The flowers are irregular in shape and are up to (0.75 inches). They are purple. Blooms first appear in late spring and continue into mid summer.

Range: Native range centers around Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. The species is known from California to South Carolina in widely scattered and has escaped flower gardens outside its range.

It was used as far back as the Middle Ages to reduce stress and anxiety, promote sleep, improve appetite, and ease pain and discomfort from indigestion (including gas and bloating as well as colic). Even before the Middle Ages, lemon balm was steeped in wine to lift the spirits, help heal wounds, and treat venomous insect bites and stings. Today, lemon balm is often combined with other calming, soothing herbs, such as valerian, chamomile, and hops, to help promote relaxation.

It is grown not only in herb gardens or to attract bees, but also in crops for medicine, cosmetics, and furniture polish manufacturing. The plant grows up to 2 feet in height, sometimes higher if not maintained. In the spring and summer, clusters of small, light yellow flowers grow where the leaves meet the stem. The leaves are very deeply wrinkled and range from dark green to yellowish green in color, depending on the soil and climate. If you rub your fingers on these leaves, your fingers will smell tart and sweet, like lemons.

~*~*~I have been told that I am supposed to say in my description, that these are not retail packages of seeds. I own a greenhouse and purchase my seed in bulk packages. They come mostly in 1,000-10,000 seed packages from a commercial supplier. I can not use this amount of seed in all the differant varieties. So I repackage them in small plastic zippy bags and place a sticker on the outside of the bag with sowing and growing instructions. and list them here on Listia. Each packet has been hand counted and will contain ATLEAST the amount of seed won. 98% of the time there is more than that in the baggie. Several of the seeds I list are smaller than a dust particle and I can not count these. In these cases you will often find 3-5x the amount won. All seed auctions will now contain a photo of a seed baggies to show what it looks like. It will NOT be the actual packet you are bidding on. It is only a sample.

~*~*~Also, I package seeds very well, well enough that I often have to pay extra postage so they arrive safely to you. You will not get a crushed seed. If what you receive looks crushed, it is only because that is the size of the seed.

~*~*~Also, I ONLY ship to Listia verified addresses. I copy and paste what you have listed on Listia as an address. If it does not reach you...check your mailing info. I ship to where it tells me to ship.

~*~*~If you have issues with ANY of this, DO NOT BID!!! I do this to earn credits to suppliment my income and purchase gifts. I do not have the extra money to spend on reshipping items,nor do I like giving credits back because someone does not or can not read the description and expects something differant thnt what is listed.

These are the rules, guidelines and other *^%&$&$%& that I am forced to have to explain because some people cant read or ask questions BEFORE BIDDING.

Hey, Christine,
. . . Who told you that?
. . . Nobody told me that. Nobody appears to have told anybody else that.
. . . I have a feeling it was the opinion of somebody who made an assumption & not able to accept personal responsibility, decided to blame you.
. . . You've heard the expression "Opinions are like a------s. Everybody has one."
. . . Non permitto illegitimati carborundum (Don't let the b-st-rds wear you down).
. . . You are "The bomb".
