I didn't know there was such a thing as orange balm before, saw the seeds in a catalog and thought what the heck, it should be easy enough to grow and I'm looking for some fillers for under the fruit trees. Anyone have any experience with it - good, bad, or otherwise indifferent?

Have you planted your orange balm "Mandarina" yet? I was curious how strong the orange scent was. I just ordered it myself and hopes it has a good scent like the lemon balm. Love good smelling leaves!

I did! I grew from seed so they're not very large yet, but are growing nicely under the fruit trees. They're not orange-smelling to my nose, but sometimes scent develops more fully over the years, so we shall see.
