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.

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
Haven’t planted yet. Looking forward to adding to salads! So happy MIgarden had these. Hard to find Microgreen seeds
So far all 6 seeds that I planted have germinated and are growing well. I am planning on transplanting them into bigger pots soon until they’re ready for the garden.
My old reliable variety, always produces an abundance of tomatoes towards the end of the season!
Little pepper plants popped up quickly, they seem to be doing very well thus far.
Really great germination, I am currently growing them in my hydroponic system.
