Bring lasting beauty and purpose to your home garden by planting Bee Balm seeds (also known as Wild Bergamot). This fragrant perennial native wildflower produces soft lavender-pink blooms that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds throughout the summer. Known botanically as Monarda Fistulosa, it’s a hardy, easy-to-grow herb that thrives in full sun and rewards gardeners year after year with color, aroma, and beneficial pollinator activity.
As a native wildflower, Wild Bergamot is a natural fit for pollinator gardens, cottage borders, or meadow-style plantings. Its long-lasting blooms and aromatic foliage make it a favorite for gardeners who value both beauty and ecology. Each plant helps sustain local pollinator populations while adding timeless charm and fragrance to your outdoor space.
Beyond its visual appeal, Bee Balm is also a traditional medicinal herb treasured by herbalists. The leaves and flowers can be used to make aromatic teas, soothing infusions, and natural remedies. It has been appreciated for generations for its gentle, beneficial properties—making it a meaningful addition to any herbal garden or self-reliance planting plan.
Growing Bee Balm from seed is simple and rewarding. Start indoors several weeks before your last frost or sow directly into the soil once it’s warm. Choose a sunny spot with good drainage, keep the soil evenly moist, and watch as this hardy perennial establishes quickly. Once mature, it will spread naturally, returning season after season with minimal care.
