Lemon Balm
Lemon Balm is the Kudzu of the herb world, after planting a cute little
4" pot of it the monster can spread everywhere. If you have a place where nothing else will grow, go for it, but be prepared to pull it up and give it away ( to other victims rather like Little Shop of horrors )as you try to keep it confined. I like Lemon Verbina better for suntea, but the verbena is even less cold-hardy than basil so unless you are in a tropical climate, this herb has to be potted and kept warm.With proper attention, lemon balm can be a lovely addition to a garden but it does spread quickly by seed.
