Why Customers Love Bergamot (Bee Balm):

• Deer resistant and low maintenance once established
• Drought tolerant and adaptable to many soil types
• Traditional herbal plant with historical uses
• Ideal for native gardens, meadows, borders, and naturalized areas

How to Grow Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa):
Sow bergamot seeds indoors for transplanting or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Lightly press seeds into the soil, as light aids germination. Plant in full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil. Water regularly during establishment; mature plants require minimal supplemental watering. Bergamot spreads naturally over time and benefits from occasional thinning to maintain airflow and vigorous growth.

Harvest & Use:
Leaves and flowers can be harvested during bloom and dried for traditional herbal uses or enjoyed fresh for their aromatic qualities. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage extended flowering.
