Wild Bergamot
(Monarda Fistulosa) is a perennial native to North America. It is an attractive bloomer in the summer and an actual herb with a citrus-mint fragrance that’s been used in tea and potpourri for centuries. Wild Bergamot seeds grow up to 2-4 ft and resist deer & mildew. They spread slowly by rhizome to form dense, self-sustaining clumps. It best performs in USDA Zones  2‑9. The flower’s blooming season starts in mid-summer and lasts until early fall. It’s one of those flowers that gets easier, not harder, over time. Order pink‑purple beebalm flower seeds once, and you’ll be enjoying it for decades.
