#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant Bee Balm in rich, well-drained soil where they will get at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight a day (the more sun, the better!) Although Monarda can grow in partial shade, you will find the most uniform growing plants with the best bloom in more sun. Provide a consistent amount of water for best results. Add life-long support simply by using symbiotic Nature Hills Root Booster in the planting hole.
Plan to cut as many flowers as you would like for indoor flower arrangements, or deadhead after the flowers fade to encourage an occasional rebloom later in the season. In early spring, trim the dried foliage back to the ground for a fresh start to the growing season. The disease-resistant leaves stay blissfully free of powdery mildew when given the right amount of air circulation.
A long, summer-blooming, compact form of Bee Balm that loves a sunny, mulched location. Deadhead the plants to keep them clean looking cut all plants down in late fall and remove all debris in fall. Divide clumps every 3-5 years to maintain their shape and vigor.
- Loves Full - Partial Sun/Afternoon Shade In Hot Climates
- Very Well-Drained Enriched Soil
- Moderate to Low Moisture Needs - Drought Tolerant
- Deadhead After Flowers Fade & Prune Back In Late Fall
- Disease & Mildew Resistant Foliage
