Purple Bergamot Bee Balm, a stunning native wildflower, is a must-have for any pollinator garden. Growing 2-3 feet tall, this perennial herb produces vibrant lavender-purple blooms that attract a flurry of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds throughout the summer. Not only does it add a splash of color to your landscape, but its aromatic foliage also releases a delightful minty fragrance when crushed.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Direct sow seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed or start indoors 6-8 weeks before. Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not soggy and provide them with plenty of bright, indirect light. After the last frost, transplant seedlings outdoors, spacing them 12-18 inches apart in full sun. Monarda prefers well-draining soil and regular watering. Harvest in 90-100 days.
