300+ SPOTTED BEE BALM Seeds Native Wildflower Herbal Tea Monarda punctata Garden

SPOTTED BEE BALM. aka Bergamot/Horsemint. A showy plant about two feet tall with lavender to rose-colored blooms that are very fragrant with a scent of oregano, which attracts a lot of bumble bees, hummingbird moths, butterflies and honeybees. From the mint family. The name comes from the cream-colored corolla with purple spots. Not real picky about soil. Grows anywhere it can get 4 to 6 hrs. of sun a day. Does better with a little spotty shade through the day. Used in tea's, potpourri, dried flower arrangements. Also, a real medicinal plant that treats infections. The antiseptic THYMOL comes from Bee Balm Flowers, used in common mouthwash. Also treats gum diseases and throat infections. 300+Quality seeds. Thank You!
