Growing Your Bee Balm Seeds From Seed In 3 Simple Steps
# 1 | Start your bee balm seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost or direct sow outdoors 1 to 2 weeks before the last frost. The optimal soil temperature for seed germination is 60-70 F.
# 2 | Wild Bergamot does best in full sun, but can also thrive in partial shade. Plant your bee balm seeds 1/4 inch deep and lightly cover with topsoil.
#3 | Seeds will germinate in 10-21 days. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.
