Red Bee Balm OG - Live Plant
Monarda didyma
These Bee Balm seedlings are available in 4 inch pots and 6-packs.
The seeds to start these plants came from Fedco
In the Garden
Red Bee Balm is a favorite of our bees and hummingbirds. Spreading quickly where planted this pollinator favorite will happily fill in space in your garden. Plant in full sun as it can be prone to powdery mildew. Soil should be well drained. Zone 4-9. Grows 4 feet tall.
In the Apothecary
Bee Balm supports the respiratory system and the digestive system. It tastes a bit like oregano due to the high volume of Thymol in the leaves and flowers. We love to add a sprinkle to our tisanes to add color and a bit of respiratory support.. You only need a pinch.

Organic / Biodynamic Information
All live seedlings, bare roots and gallon-sized plants are certified organic by MOFGA and grown biodynamically from seed at Meeting House Herb Farm in Scarborough, Maine.
A Note about Plant Sizes
This picture shows the plant full grown.
If you are picking up Seedlings, know that they are quite small - just started and will need some care to establish. We've raised them from seed, and made sure they are adjusted to 24/7 outdoor weather, so it will be the perfect time and size to take home and plant in your own garden to arrange in harmony with your other plants.
If you order bare root, they will be just breaking dormancy and will need to be planted as soon as possible. These will be 1 year plants. Give them a year to fully establish in their new home.
If you are picking up Gallon sized pots, they are 1-3 year old plants dug from our gardens at Meeting House Farm.
