Description

Perennial. Apricot-scented tea and ornamental plant with gray-green foliage for solitary and group planting. The orange flowers appear in the first year of sowing. Growing height: approx. 50 - 60 cm. Care: Sow in spring in a warm place (greenhouse/window sill), sow shallowly and thinly in seed trays. Only press the seeds down and keep them evenly moist. After germination, place in a cool place. Pot up after 6 - 8 weeks. Autumn sowing can be done outdoors in pots/trays. Planting distance approx. 30 x 30 cm. Use: Suitable for beds, borders, borders and container planting. As apricot lemon balm can also be used as a tea plant, it should be planted in the herb garden. Gardening tip: Before taking the plants outside, you should acclimatize them very carefully to the outside temperatures. Avoid waterlogging at all costs. Prefer well-drained, nutrient-rich soil.
