Billy Rose expounded:

Anybody grow lemon balm before? Did yours have some pink leaves and
stems that were pink at their base? Did the lemon balm have a distinct
lemon flavor when it was small?

- Billy
Coloribus gustibus non disputatum (mostly)

Sorry to get back to this so late. Yes, some pink leaves, but not on
all the seedlings, and yes, there is a distinct lemon flavor. These
seedlings all had three to four sets of leaves, or fewer.
