Description
Spotted bee balm is a hardy perennial that blooms from summer through fall, creating a long-lasting display that pollinators can’t resist. It’s drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it perfect for gardeners who want beauty without the fuss.
Native Wildflower
Spotted bee balm is native throughout the eastern and central United States, from the Atlantic coast west to Minnesota and Texas, and south to Florida. This widespread native adapts well to different growing conditions across its range.
Benefits of Spotted Bee Balm
• Attracts bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and beneficial insects
• Extremely drought-tolerant once established
• Blooms for months, providing nectar all season long
• Deer resistant and thrives in poor, sandy, or rocky soil
• Self-seeds gently without taking over your garden
Easy to Grow
Sow seeds in fall or early spring directly in your garden, or start indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil.
Once established, this native needs very little water or care and will reward you with years of beautiful blooms.
