Lemon Balm was new to me when I saw it at the garden center. Plant it around seating areas in the yard and it will discourage mosquitoes. As a tea it has a lemon flavor and is good for stomach problems.

Best of all, once it is established it is almost indestructible, it comes back evey year.


Beware: it will take over your yard! Which may or may not be a bad thing.
