Description
(24-48" tall x 24-36" wide) The intriguing blossoms of Wild Bergamot Bee Balm burst forth from their buds into clusters of nectar-rich, tubular flowers held aloft by a ring of showy bracts. True to its name, the plant's purple-pink flowers are magnet for bees and many other pollinators. Wild Bergamot is easy to grow, adaptable, and readily spreads to form large swaths. You'll have so many flowers from midsummer into fall that the bees won't mind if you cut a few to jazz up indoor arrangements. Healthy leaves or flowers can be used to make tea. This deer-resistant perennial is native to the states east of the Rocky Mountains, and thrives in all but the hottest, driest regions. It prefers full sun to part shade and tolerates a range of soils from dry to moist. A charming addition to herb gardens, meadow plantings, cottage gardens, or perennial flower beds.

Its growing
"I ordered 3 and they all arrived in small pots. 1 of them was just a small seedling, so I reached out to get a replacement. I have all 3 on drip irrigation and have grown about 6 inches in just a month. I was glad to find this version of this plant online."
Tall, strong, gorgeous plants - super happy with them!
"Wow! Dug two of these little plants in last Fall. And now, July, they're huge. Doing really really well. I put them in with Jacob Cline Bee Balm, and am looking forward seeing the mix of reds and purples when they bloom… which should be very very soon. If you're thinking about them, I highly recommend them. Thank you!"
I wld buy this product again and again

Happy customer
"I ordered 3 of these during the winter for spring planting. They arrived on schedule. They were a little larger than I was expecting, considering the very reasonable price. Unfortunately, their condition was sad when they arrived, one was very distressed. I planted them with compost, a little fertilizer, love and frequent watering. They are happy, healthy and have lots of new growth after only 3 weeks. I am looking forward to seeing them flower. I was very pleased that I was able to call prior to shipping and add a shrub to my order without additional shipping charges."
