You will receive a seed packet containing 0.1 grams or a minimum of 100 Beebalm seeds. Monarda Fistulosa also known as Wild Bergamot, Horsemint, and Bee Balm is a perennial in the Lamiaceae family. This North American native was used medicinally by indigenous people to treat many ailments including bee stings, earning it the name Bee Balm. A beautiful addition to tea blends and delicious salads, Bee Balm leaves are edible and provide notes of oregano, thyme, and mint. Pollinators such as butterflies, moths, hummingbirds, and bees also enjoy this plant and will flock to its pinkish-purple flowers that bloom in summer. Bee Balm is perfect for planting in garden borders, and areas with full sun and generous space to reach its full potential. To Bee Balm or not to Bee Balm that is the question! We love this beautiful native herb and hope you give it a try this growing season!
