Bring a burst of citrus scent and pollinator magic to your garden with Lemon Bergamot — also known as Lemon Bee Balm. This easy-to-grow annual produces tiered whorls of lavender-purple flowers that rise above delicately fragrant foliage. Beloved by bees, butterflies, and herbal tea drinkers alike, it's ideal for wildflower borders, wildlife patches, and herbal gardens.
Start indoors in early spring or sow direct once frosts have passed. Perfect in sun-drenched beds or pots with well-drained soil. Edible, drought-tolerant once established, and adored by beneficial insects — a summer staple with style and substance.
