Planting & Care

Sow Pink 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; they need light to germinate. Keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 14-28 days at temperatures around 65-70°F. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them to their garden location after hardening off.

Choose a site with full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish. Mature plants benefit from consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor. Bee Balm is generally low-maintenance and resistant to deer and rabbits.
