🐝Plant of the Week: Bee Balm 🐝
If there's one plant that deserves the spotlight during Pollinator Week, it's Bee Balm!
This hardy perennial is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it one of the best additions for a pollinator-friendly garden. Not only does it provide an important food source for pollinators, but it also brings a pop of colour and long lasting blooms to your garden all summer 🌸
~ Since Bee Balm belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae), its leaves carry a lovely fragrance (mildly minty, citrusy flavor with floral notes) and has the ability to spread over time
~ Is also called Wild Bergamot and thrives in full sun
~ Supports biodiversity by attracting dozens of different pollinators throughout the summer
~ Bee Balm has been used by Indigenous peoples in herbal teas and remedies
Add Bee Balm to your garden and have pollinators coming back year after year! 🐝
