Two for the price of one, get your lime mortar here.
Ask yourself, "do I need lime mortar?"
You might not think you do but a cursory look around me now and I can see three applications. Perhaps you can see some near you.
There's the fireback, if you have a wood burner or a traditional coal fire the flue almost certainly was built using lime mortar. It stands up well to heat.
There's the garden wall. You could use any mortar for this but lime mortar has characteristics of porosity and flexibility which make it suitable when building with softer materials such as natural stone.
There are the general properties of freeze-thaw resistance and water retention that are useful for other applications. Ok, this isn't an explicit application as advertised above but hey, I'm not an expert, if you want in-depth lime mortar knowledge you need to look elsewhere.
And here is the source, number 1 in lime mortars. Twice.
