Also known as Monarda, Lemon Bee Balm, Purple Horsemint, and Bergamot—this plant is basically the life of the summer garden party! With its clusters of pretty pink and purple blooms, Lemon Mint isn’t just a looker; it’s a total magnet for bees and butterflies. And if you’re feeling a bit fancy, crush or rub the leaves of Monarda citriodora to unleash a delightful citrusy scent that’ll make you feel like you’re on a tropical vacation!
Feeling adventurous? Use those leaves raw in salads, toss them in cooked dishes, or steep them for a refreshing tea. Your taste buds will thank you!
