Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not cover deeply as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days at temperatures around 65-70°F (18-21°C).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have developed a few true leaves, transplant them to their final location. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In late fall, cut back stems to ground level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Red Velvet Bee Balm seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"8 Store Seeds Sejahtera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67914101129352,"sku":"seed - bee balm seeds-511","price":13.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_b2ef94f8-b26e-401d-b5c9-c76dfc719a74.jpg?v=1794449992","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/100-red-velvet-bee-balm-seeds-hummingbird-flower-seeds-for-planting","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
