Description

Use Bee Balm (Monarda spp.) in garden borders and beds as an annual garden plant. Prepare a place with full sun, moderately fertile, well-drained soil, and room for normal growth.

Begin with a clean, prepared growing area and sow at the crop's appropriate depth. Water moderately and prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged while young plants settle in, then remove spent flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy.
