Monarda fistulosa. Bee balm is a vibrant perennial herb known for its striking, tubular flowers that bloom in shades of purple. 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.

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
I plan to winter sow to harvest in spring
I havent planted it yet. But Lukes seeds always do well
Got seeds and will know more when planting season arrives.
Grew these for the past three years and I will keep growing them for many more. I highly recommend them. Great germination rate. Every onion grew to the size of baseballs and others a bit bigger and they store very well.Best long day onion I have ever grow.
I am very happy with my heirloom seeds. I cannot wait to germinate them.
Started my seeds on 12/31/25. I’ve had almost 100% germination and the onion seedlings are a couple of inches tall at this point (1/9/26). Looking forward to a great harvest!
