| Dill, parsley, lemon balm and fennel are a few other plants that sustain these helpful bugs. The plant was taken to Europe, where it is now widely cultivated and used in herbal medicine (as a tea or as capsules) in combination with valerian and lemon balm. Living mulch plants such as chamomile, valerian, comfrey, lemon balm, and mustards prefer shady niches under most trees. |
