Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) — also known as Bee Balm — is a gorgeous native North American perennial with fragrant, tubular pompon blooms in shades of pink to lavender that are unmistakable in the summer garden. Hummingbirds, bees, and Raspberry butterflies all flock to the flowers for nectar, making it one of the most effective pollinator plants you can grow. The petals can be used fresh in season or dried to make a vibrant red tea with a distinctive, aromatic flavor. A multifaceted, beautiful, and ecologically valuable plant — a must-grow for any herb or pollinator garden.
Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost or direct sow outdoors in early spring. Surface sow or barely cover seeds — light aids germination. Transplant or thin to 18–24 inches apart in full sun to part shade. Wild Bergamot prefers well-draining soil and tolerates dry conditions once established. Divide clumps every 2–3 years to maintain vigor. Deadhead spent blooms to extend flowering season.

The seeds arrived around the estimated time of arrival. They were well packaged and looked good. I planted a few 3 days ago and I've already got sprouts.
I hope these flowers will grow in North Dakota! The colors are vibrant and hopefully the bees will like them. I will have to wait until after the Big Thaw in April before I can plant them - can't wait!
