Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at temperatures around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have several true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBee Balm prefers rich, moist soil and benefits from a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water regularly during dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, and divide clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigor. In humid climates, provide good air circulation to help prevent powdery mildew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Bright Red Bee Balm seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"8 Store Seeds Sejahtera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49453657915489,"sku":"seed - bee balm seeds-505","price":13.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/0796\/7073\/files\/download_635732a1-6d1d-4683-912d-900b38db3ce9.jpg?v=1792573954","url":"https:\/\/8storeseedsejahtera.store\/products\/100-bright-red-bee-balm-seeds-hummingbird-flower-seeds-for-planting","provider":"8 Store Seeds Sejahtera","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
