How to Grow Bee Balm Plants (Wild Bergamot)

Valued for their bright, vibrant flowers, bee balm plants are herbaceous perennials native to North America. Interestingly, these plants are also considered as herbs: bee balm is actually part of the mint family, with aromatic leaves and many culinary and medicinal uses.

Best planted in spring or fall, bee balm plants will produce clusters of scarlet, pink, or purple tubular flowers in mid to late summer.

Distinctive "spiky-combed" flowers are among its key selling points, along with the plants' ability to attract a variety of wildlife to the garden landscape (including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds).

Also, if you're looking for an option that adds long-lasting color to your garden, bee balm might be just that: The plants are long-blooming perennials that grow quickly and can reach up to a meter or more in height.
