Native to North America and thriving in woodland areas. Bee balm is very attractive to bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. It has an open, daisy-like shape, with tubular petals in shades of red. Culture: Start seeds indoors under lights 8–10 weeks before your average last frost date. Harden off your seedlings and transplant to your garden after all danger of frost is past. Perennial plants started from seeds will bloom the second year. Try to avoid harvesting foliage for the first year so the plant can use all its energy to become well established. Bee balm grows in a clump with 3-foot tall stalks.
