Be Balm produces whorls of spidery, pink blooms crowning upright stems for an eye-catching perennial display. A magnet for pollinating insects with its nectar rich blooms, this sun loving Monarda forms an attractive clump at the front of borders, particularly on rich, damp soils. Herb growers will also know this variety by its other common name, Bergamot, and by the scent of its aromatic foliage. Culinary note: use the dried leaves to make bergamot tea or use the sweet, spicy-flavoured petals to enhance salads, jellies, rice or pasta dishes. The Kew Pollinators range of seeds from Thompson and Morgan has been specially created alongside the experts at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew to attract and support a wide range of pollinators, including bees, butterflies and beetles, as well as a number of other important pollinating insects. Helping these pollinators to thrive is hugely important for our eco-system as a whole and these seeds, in their striking packaging inspired by artwork from the Kew archives, will help to create the environment which they need to thrive, with varieties chosen to help a wide range of pollinating insects, including some night flowering plants to help moths which also play an important part in our gardens.Product specifications: Position: Sun or Semi Shade Height: Up to 90cm when fully establishedSpread: Up to 45cm when fully establishedSupplied as 1x Bee Balm Kew Pollination Collection seed packet (approx. 80 seeds)Delivered with growing and care instructionsFlowering period – June to AugustImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
