Wild Bergamot Seeds - Herbal Plant

Wild Bergamot Seeds produce a perennial flowering plant commonly known in the United States as wild bergamot or bee balm. Plants develop upright stems with aromatic, green leaves and produce clusters of lavender to pink tubular flowers. This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained fertile soil and is suitable for garden beds, borders, meadows, or container cultivation in temperate climates. Wild bergamot attracts pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
