Organic Bee Balm | Wild Bergamot

Perennial 60 days to harvest Monarda fistulosa

Description

Soil blocks are our go-to, especially for native seeds. At Fruition, we sow perennial herbs and flowers in soil blocks about 6 weeks before final frost, potting up with each set of true leaves and transplanting out after frost danger has passed. Bee balm can also be established through August, though she may not flower until her second summer if sown past June here in Zone 5.

Organic Bee Balm | Wild Bergamot

Transplant Only: Sow ~6 weeks before last frost, barely covering with soil (light is needed for germination) and bottom-water to avoid displaced seed. Transfer to larger pot with first true leaves. Harden off seedlings (reduce water & temp 3-7 days) & transplant after frost 1’ apart. Weed & water well; mulch to reduce weed & watering pressure.
