Create an instantly gorgeous garden with the fabulous flowers and fragrance of Bonnie Plants® Bee Balm. Unique lavender blooms and fragrant silvery-green foliage taste as good as they look, adding delicious flavor to meals and drinks. Not only does Bee Balm taste great in your favorite recipes, it's also a nectar source for wildlife: bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds find Bee Balm irresistible. Snip a few flowers for a lovely addition to homegrown bouquets. Traditionally used by Native Americans to soothe bronchial complaints, digestive issues, and colds, Bee Balm tea tastes similar to Earl Gray. The multi-purpose plant looks gorgeous growing in herb gardens, raised beds, or containers. Sprinkle the edible flower petals on salads or use the leaves in place of oregano. A perennial in zones 4-10, plant Bee Balm in full- to part-sun, spaced 12-18 inches apart. It grows 36-48 inches tall. Bee Balm prefers moist, well-drained Miracle-Gro® Soil. Be sure to water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and feed it regularly with Miracle-Gro® Plant Food. Bonnie Plants® live plant varieties are designed for your gardening success, whether they're disease resistant, heat tolerant, space savers, or produce abundant harvests.
