Planting & Care

Sow Cherry Pops Bee Balm seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the growing medium consistently moist and maintain a temperature around 65–70°F. Germination typically occurs in 14–21 days.

Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them to a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
