Notes
'Lemon Balm' garlic (Allium sativum 'Lemon Balm') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance beds. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. The crop matures in 70 days.
Pairs well with Basil, Cajun Belle pepper, and Salad burnet.
