    Hi All,

    This is in my inlaws garden and they asked me what it is as they are thinking of taking it out. I thought if was mint but it actually smells of citrus?

        It's nice in the spring when it's a fresh green dome. Chop it off well before it seeds, though.

          Agree with Lemon Balm. I'm infested with it here - leave any decent root and it'll grow back:wallbanging:

          I'm thinking I might grow some lemon balm in a notorious ground elder area and see which one comes out victorious!!
