The leaves bear the signature and anatomy of the heart, they smell a bit strong when fresh, but when dried they exude the scent of fresh hay.
Similar to lemon balm, Bastard balm is also used in folk medicine.
The shoots, leaves and flowers can be used in the kitchen. I wouldn't use Bastard balm individually in a salad because it tastes too bitter. Stems used as vegetables and in salads have a similar flavor to marjoram.
