Begin to prepare to plant bee balm in either the spring or the fall. If planting in the fall, plant two months before the expected first frost. If planting in the spring, plant two weeks before the expected last frost.
Cultivate a garden spot that receives full sun. If you are planting bee balm in a very hot climate, partial shade is O.K.. Work the soil so that it is loose
Smooth and grade the soil flat with a garden rake. Decide whether you will plant the bee balm in clumps or rows. Either method works well. Planting bee balm in clumps makes an attractive plant cluster that can be used behind other shorter plants in a flower bed because the mature bee balm plant can grow up to 48 inches tall.
Sow the seeds 1/8-inch to 1/16-inch deep and one inch apart . Keep the seeds moist after planting. Look for shoots five to ten days after sowing. If planting in rows, thin the shoots to 12-inches apart when they are several inches tall. If planting bee balm in clumps, plant the clumps 1.5 feet apart. They like to be watered well. I never fertilize, but the choice is yours. Thanks for your intrest in my auction and email with any questions. I mail the next day after win.
