Fiery red bee balm flowers in whorls around green stemsPlantas perennes

Bee balm is a striking perennial with aromatic foliage and crown-like flowers in fiery red, pink or purple that appear in whorls around the stem in July and August. The blooms are a magnet for bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. The aromatic leaves release a bergamot scent when rubbed between the fingers.

Guía de cuidados

Plant in full sun to partial shade in moist, fertile soil. Ensure good air circulation to prevent mildew. Keep the soil evenly moist. Mulch around the base to retain moisture. Divide the plant every three years to maintain vigour.

Consejos de poda

After the first flush of flowers, deadhead — a second, lighter bloom often follows. Cut back dead foliage to the ground in autumn. Thin dense clumps in spring for better air circulation.
