Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) – an aromatic perennial herb with upright stems, lance-shaped leaves, and violet-pink flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The plant releases a pleasant, bergamot-like aroma and is well suited for teas, herbal infusions, and medicinal blends, as well as for naturalistic borders and meadow-style plantings. Sow seeds indoors in early spring or directly outdoors after the last frost; germination occurs in 10–20 days. Grow in full sun to partial shade in moderately moist, well-drained soil. Plants reach approximately 80 cm in height and flower from June to August, providing long-lasting color and supporting garden biodiversity.
