{"product_id":"moldavian-balm","title":"Moldavian Balm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a huge personal favorite of grower Daniel MacPhee. He says everyone should grow this plant! It is uncommonly seen but easy to grow, with beautiful showy blue flowers, deep green slightly hairy foliage, and interesting upright\/spreading architecture. It is a favorite of pollinators, particularly large species of bumble bee and hummingbirds. With a highly aromatic lemon balm-like scent, its flavor holds very well dried for teas (unlike lemon balm). Its medicine is to both treat colds and lift the spirit! Also known as Dragon's Head as the flowers are shaped like large-toothed dragons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 93% on 09\/18\/2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \/ harvesting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow seeds on the surface of moist potting soil and barely cover.

Cut the stalks below the lowest seed clusters. If necessary, dry the seedheads further in the sun on a sheet or table away from moisture and precipitation. When fully dry, whack the seedheads in a bucket, allowing the ripest seed to fall. Sift through strainers to remove the largest chaff, and then winnow off the lighter chaff with your breath, a fan, or the wind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackbird Rise","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":3715053584424,"sku":"HERB-017","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2406\/3467\/products\/BBR-MoldavianBalm_1.jpg?v=1571609434","url":"https:\/\/trueloveseeds.sbs\/products\/moldavian-balm","provider":"Truelove Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
