Features of Beebalm
Body
Beebalm is a late and long flowering perennial that forms large clumps of color. Good for cutting and aromatic foliage. It spreads due to rhizomes.
Care
- It required moist, well-drained soil in sun to partial sun location.
- Provide good air circulation to prevent mildew.
- Avoid dry soils to ensure quality foliage but at the same time dry soils help to keep the plant somewhat in check and from spreading too much.
- Divide every 3-4 years to maintain vigor.
- Deadhead to prolong bloom.
