Bring beauty, fragrance, and pollinator life to your garden with Bergamot (Bee Balm) Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. Also known as Monarda fistulosa or horsemint, this native North American wildflower is a hardy perennial in the mint family, valued for its soft lavender blooms, citrus-like aroma, and ability to attract beneficial pollinators. Well adapted to a wide range of growing conditions, bergamot is both drought tolerant and deer resistant, making it a dependable choice for wildflower gardens, native landscapes, and herbal plantings.
Native, Fragrant, and Pollinator-Friendly:
- Native perennial wildflower found throughout North American woodlands and prairies
- Light purple to lavender blooms with a pleasant citrus-mint fragrance
- Blooms throughout summer, providing long-lasting color and nectar
- Highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds
Why Customers Love Bergamot (Bee Balm):
- Supports pollinators and biodiversity
- Deer resistant and low maintenance once established
- Drought tolerant and adaptable to many soil types
- Traditional herbal plant with historical uses
- Ideal for native gardens, meadows, borders, and naturalized areas
How to Grow Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa):
Sow bergamot seeds indoors for transplanting or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Lightly press seeds into the soil, as light aids germination. Plant in full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil. Water regularly during establishment; mature plants require minimal supplemental watering. Bergamot spreads naturally over time and benefits from occasional thinning to maintain airflow and vigorous growth.
Harvest & Use:
Leaves and flowers can be harvested during bloom and dried for traditional herbal uses or enjoyed fresh for their aromatic qualities. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage extended flowering.
