Lemon mint?
Growing two plants of lemon mint. They have gotten about 3 feet tall and require staking/tying. If I cut it back will it become bushier,sturdier and shorter? I hate to cut flowers as every stalk is loaded with flowers and bees. It’s by far the best bee magnet, better even then Thai basil or my nesting onions. I

Re: Lemon mint?
Maybe cut it back after it's done flowering?
PS- what's a nesting onion?

Done flowering and before it starts to seed. It can be invasive.
