Lindemuer Beebalm



Member of Mint Family
Blooms: April - August

These grow along woodline by our driveway. They vary from pale yellows to light pinks. They are ilar to Beebalm and have a very sweet aroma. They are used in making of sachets and potporris, fresh leaves can be used in making of lemon teas.



Cherokee Indians made a hot tea and drank it for heart trouble and for fevers and to induce restful sleep.
