Bee balm is highly attractive to pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it an excellent addition to pollinator gardens. Its aromatic leaves can be used in teas and potpourris. Besides its ornamental appeal, bee balm has medicinal properties, traditionally used to treat colds, digestive issues, and skin conditions. Its fragrant blooms and beneficial qualities make it a garden favorite.

There were seeds. Check. The instructions said to stratify for approximately three weeks. Check. Germination is hopefully next, but there’s still some time left on the clock. Sorry, no check there.
That being said, every other pack of seed that I have bought from here has performed well, so I don’t have doubts. Just patience.
When I received the plants, that were in bad shape! All but one leaf on each plant told me that might survive. Well thy didn’t. Have to look for a local nurcery!
I seed-started these in January since perennial flowers take longer to germinate and grow. MIG pricing at $1 was too good to pass up. Thanks for offering great seeds at a great price.
I grew these last year to draw the bees to my yard. They grew beautifully. And the amount of bees they attracted was incredible!
Great
Germanated quickly on a heat mat. Off the mat and growing ready to transplant early/mid april. Excited for leeks this autumn
Last year I bought seeds from my local store and I didnt get anything to germinate. This year I purchased all my seeds from MIGardener and I've had to give seedlings away cause nearly all the seeds sprouted!!!
Great germination! I'm excited to see how the onions turn out
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
