Sustainably hand-harvested Monarda fistulosa seeds. Important nectar source for native bees, butterflies, moths and hummingbirds. Stems provide nesting habitat for bees and other insects. Minty odor deters deer browse. Edible plant. Perennial.
Refrigeration and cold stratification not required - ready to plant in warm weather from room temperature storage. Tiny seeds should be scattered directly on top of soil or only lightly covered. Spreads readily.
Bee balm is susceptible to powdery mildew, which does not harm the plant, but the best way to avoid this is to space individual plants apart rather than forming clumps.
