How To Grow
GROWER TIP: Bee Balm seeds can benefit from a period of stratification. Chill the seeds in between a damp paper towel for 3 to 4 weeks prior to sowing. If started indoors, use CowPots to prevent root shock. Sowing directly outdoors can provide a good opportunity to naturally stratify the seed when it's still cold out.
