Panorama Mix Bee Balm Seeds

The lavender shades of Monarda grow so well in my Zone 7A mountain conditions that I wanted to try the red, pink, and white shades. Blooms begin in late May and continue well into Autumn if sheared and kept sprayed to prevent powdery mildew. These red pink, and white shades germinated very well and are strong growers. Monarda makes for a delightful minty tea and substitute for oregano. The flowers are a real treat in salads and put in honey. And, as stated by Parks,Monarda are bee magnets. If using for eating remember to harvest early as late in the season they are very susceptible powdery mildew if not kept sprayed.
