Native to North America, it brings long-lasting color to borders, meadow plantings, and rain gardens, and its fragrant foliage lends a pleasant herbal note to the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blooms rise on upright stems through summer and draw in bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, while the aromatic leaves can be used fresh or dried for teas and culinary flavoring. Plants spread gradually by rhizomes to form a fuller colony over time, making it a fine choice for naturalized areas, cottage borders, and mixed perennial beds.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Monarda media\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Herbaceous perennial\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright clump-forming\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to part shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Moist, well-drained, tolerates average to rich soils\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 4-9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 14-28 days at 65-70F; cold stratification for 2-4 weeks improves results\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Surface sow and lightly press in; light aids germination\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 18-24 inches\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Deadhead to extend bloom; divide clumps every few years\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664816930952,"sku":"ANNISA-575","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/il_fullxfull.7954568727_hndb.jpg?v=1791899599","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/100-seeds-purple-bergamot-monarda-media-pollinator-wildflower","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
