Planting & Care

Sow Bee Balm seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they require light to germinate. Keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, harden them off and transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Bee Balm thrives in rich, moist soil and benefits from regular watering, especially during dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Divide clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding. In humid climates, ensure good air circulation to reduce the risk of powdery mildew.
