Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10–21 days at temperatures around 65–70°F (18–21°C). Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves, harden them off gradually before transplanting to the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells to keep plants healthy and blooming. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued bloom and to prevent self-seeding if desired. In late fall, cut back foliage after it dies back. Mulch around plants in colder zones to protect roots over winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Gumball Bee Balm seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"8 Store Seeds Sejahtera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49453658439777,"sku":"seed - gumball bee balm-507","price":13.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/0796\/7073\/files\/download_138a46c0-8133-4adb-9768-d3795e13ec18.jpg?v=1792573957","url":"https:\/\/8storeseedsejahtera.store\/products\/100-gumball-bee-balm-seeds-hummingbird-flower-seeds-for-planting","provider":"8 Store Seeds Sejahtera","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
