Monarda fistulosa (Wild Bergamot) Seed
Description
Monarda fistulosa, or wild bergamot, is a native perennial found in prairies, meadows, and open woodlands across North America. It grows 2–4 feet tall and features clusters of lavender or light purple, tubular flowers that bloom from mid-summer to fall. The plant has fragrant, lance-shaped leaves and prefers full sun and well-drained, moist soil.
Wild bergamot is highly valued for its role in supporting pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. It is also known for its medicinal and aromatic properties, with leaves that can be used in teas or as an herbal remedy. It adds color and a unique scent to native plantings, rain gardens, and ecological restoration projects, where it contributes to biodiversity and habitat enrichment.
