Wild Bergamot

Surface-sow seeds onto moist starting mix and keep at 65–70°F; wild bergamot germinates in 10–21 days and is more drought-tolerant than the cultivated red bee balm. Plant in well-drained, average to lean soil in full sun for the most aromatic foliage and best disease resistance. Harvest leaves and flowers throughout summer for oregano-scented teas with a mild thymol character, used traditionally by many Indigenous nations for cold and fever support. Divide established clumps every 2–3 years as the center tends to die out. Спосіб посадки: Посів на розсаду вдома Відстань між рослинами: 18–24 дюймів Висота: 24–48 дюймів Дні до схожості: 10–21 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 16–21°C
