Bonnie Plants Lemon Balm Live Herb Plants - 4 Pack, Perennial In Zones 5 to 9, For Lemon Flavor In A Variety Of Dishes & Teas

They came in so healthy and gave me an amazing harvest the first year. If you are considering buying them do it. I will In fact be buying more of them myself

These arrived as 4 teeny tiny plants, but they look healthy enough. I put one in a hanging pot in my office and the other three I planted in the ground. That was about 6 weeks ago and they are all taking off so well. Granted, the three outside seem healthier because I do think these like to spread on the ground. The one in the hanging pot isn't exactly unhealthy, and it seems to be growing well, but it's growing straight up and I'm not sure it's tiny little stems can hold itself up. So far so good. I would definitely recommend these plants, and the smell is very nice. A nice, light, lemony scent.

READ EVERYTHING THEY WROTE ON THE PLANTS>>>>> including ZONE 5 THROUGH 9. Thought it nice that they wrote how expertly they took care of all their plants. Went to Bonnieplants.com and to lemon balm for details. All that prior to the purchase. Good it was ALL there on their personal website. Even wrote how we were supposed to take care of them. Read it all before purchasing. This detail also. Quoting their website in recap: - "When IT looks tired - rejuvenate it by cutting it back...... IT RESPONDS WELL TO CUTTING IT BACK.....GROWING BACK TWICE AS THICK." So reading everything on lemon balm and their testimonial...decision to buy was done. RECEIVING it in great covered plastic containers.... safely shipped ....they were 12 inches tall, scraggly, tucked in since bigger than container. The conundrum /enigma is WHY WAS THE PLANT NOT TRIMMED BACK IN THEIR GREENHOUSE before it was ready to send the customer. NOT SATISFIED for all above reasons. Especially their personal high esteem of always caring for their plants=fine / but the recipient didn't receive what they said THEY always did do (trim) ! Plus they said don't plant until spring. YIKES ! Delivered Oct 20th, 2021. Why say plant in spring, then sell it in October ..plus looking UNCARED for (spelled correctly dictionary wise). Not free returns, which wouldn't be smart anyway, too complicated on tiny plants. Loving plants made this whole thing difficult to even want to write it. And complicated is most of the time not sought after. Not here anyway. Not knowing how to MESSAGE any other way... the above......here it is. Why offer to sell it when it is not time calendar wise to do so. from Zone 8 . Had it said free returns...would have done so immediately...but their personal write up...made it absolute that it would be trimmed and therefore no complications. So thought it would be a specimen of perfection. And would have easily taken it in at night, enjoyed there......and take it out for sun daily. The new base growth looks scraggly. If they want to fix it, it would only be through this review, because only this way can i communicate . and out of the house for sun

Plant look great.

The plants I received are healthy and still going strong!

Somehow one of these well packed and beautiful plants dumped about half its soil. I'm not sure the roots are completely healed, but have hopes or will recover before spring time. They have all lived, have healthy green look except the one that lost soil, that little guy has a sad limp now aching downward in an arch-like toward one side. The three others stand proud, seem full of life, ready for the winter and eager for spring. I wish I could receive a replacement for the soil distributed, limping, little guy. The others put him to shame. I recommend purchased plants from here as long as they are handled with care. Hope this helps you. Happy planting! 💙

Today I have these on my porch outside and we have not had our first freeze. The plants should repel mosquitos and I use it along with my Citronella plant. The plants came from Amazon in excellent condition and were wrapped in a plastic container inside a box. The container kept the plants alive and they had a moist soil upon arrival. The plants need to be transplanted right away into a larger container so they can flourish. They need to be kept warm and watered daily. They do not have a strong Odor so you can use this plant in your house all year.

Not sure why, but these plants didn’t live long enough to even get taller than they were when I got them. My husband planted them in really great soil, so I expected to be able to enjoy the leaves in tea but never got that opportunity.
