Interesting Notes about Bee Balm, Bergamot:

Well-suited to the middle of the flower border. All colors in this series are similar in size, bloom time and vigor, making them easy for growers to schedule. These vigorous cultivars will fill out a container nicely with their dark green, mildew-resistant foliage, but won’t overrun the garden. Hot pink flowers.


Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Prefers rich, moist, organic soil and full sun but also grows well in average garden soil and light shade.
