| I planted Bee Balm seeds this summer. They did not sprout. We have had a lot of rain here in Texas the last few months‘. This is the first weekend we have had sun and No rain. I have found that the seeds of the bee balm have sprout all over the back corner of my yard. I am wondering what I should do. Can they be saved? Since we have several weeks till we get really cold. This was and is my hart’s desire for my garden. Any recommendations.
Thanks

| Dig them up and move them where you want them. They transplant well and as long as you get a nice clump of soil with the roots they should be fine.

| You can tell Bee Balm from the others the stems are square and leaves have a scent when rubbed. |
