White sweet clover
Melilotus albus
White sweet clover (Melilotus albus) is an annual or biennial herbaceous plant in the legume family (Fabaceae), native to Eurasia and now widely distributed throughout the world's temperate regions. The plant can grow up to 2 meters tall and bears long, narrow racemes of small white flowers with a subtle, sweet scent of coumarin. Thanks to its deep taproot, it is particularly drought-resistant and improves the soil through nitrogen fixation in symbiosis with Rhizobium bacteria.
Yellow Sweet Clover
Melilotus officinalis
Yellow sweet clover (Melilotus officinalis) is a biennial herb in the Fabaceae (legume) family, native to Europe and Asia and now naturalized across much of the world. It forms freely branching stems up to about 1.5 m tall, with trifoliate leaves and small, fragrant yellow flowers borne in slender racemes that are highly attractive to bees. It grows from a deep taproot, fixes nitrogen in the soil through symbiosis with rhizobia, and is widely used as a green manure and honey plant.
Lemon Balm
Melissa officinalis
Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is a perennial aromatic herb in the Lamiaceae family, native to the Mediterranean and Southern Europe. Prized for its delicate lemon scent, it is widely cultivated for medicinal, culinary, and ornamental purposes. Its dark green leaves are rich in essential oils with calming, antioxidant, and antiviral properties.
Woolly Pyramidbush
Melochia tomentosa
The Woolly Pyramidbush (Melochia tomentosa) is a perennial shrub in the Malvaceae family, native to arid and semi-arid regions of tropical and subtropical America, ranging from the southwestern United States to South America. It reaches between 0.3 and 2.5 meters in height, with stems and ovate leaves covered in a dense, whitish stellate pubescence that gives it a velvety appearance. It produces small pink to purple flowers clustered in the leaf axils, with a blooming period extending primarily from spring to fall, attracting abundant pollinators such as butterflies and native bees. Its fruits are winged pyramidal capsules, a distinctive characteristic of the genus. It grows naturally along roadsides, rocky slopes, xerophytic scrublands, and dry forests, from sea level up to 1,600 meters in altitude.
Water Mint
Mentha aquatica
Mentha aquatica, commonly known as water mint, is an aromatic perennial herb in the mint family (Lamiaceae), native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. It grows naturally along pond edges, streams, ditches, and marshy meadows, where its square stems and oval, toothed leaves spread rapidly by creeping runners. From midsummer into fall, dense whorls of small pink to lilac flowers cluster at the stem tips, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Every part of the plant carries a strong minty-menthol fragrance, released readily when the leaves are brushed or crushed.
Spearmint
