Description

From early summer to early autumn, Monarda didyma bears distinctive whorls of bright scarlet blooms, each one composed of 2-lipped, tubular flowers. The shaggy flowers are held on erect stems above clumps of deep green, aromatic foliage. Monarda didyma is a great choice for wildlife lovers, as it’s a magnet for bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. It has a wild, informal look that is perfect for cottage gardens and prairie plantings, associating particularly well with grasses. It enjoys reliably moist soils. Height: 90 cm (36"). Spread: 45cm (18").

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. For more details about edible flowers click here.

How to Grow
Bergamot plants dislike soils which are particularly dry or have a tendency to waterlogging. Plant them in a moist, well drained soil, adding compost or well rotted manure to amend excessively heavy clay or sandy soils. Choose a position in sun.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
Feed and water regularly until they are fully established. Deadhead faded bergamot flower heads to encourage more blooms to be produced. Apply a mulch of well rotted manure around the crown of each plant in spring. Lift and divide clumps of monarda plants every 3 years in autumn to maintain vigorous, healthy growth.
