See the pic I uploaded. | | Positive | frostweed | On May 24, 2007, frostweed from Arlington, TX (Zone 8a) wrote: Lemon Mint, Lemon Balm, Purple Horsemint, Lemon Bee Balm, Beebalm Monarda citriodora is a lovely plant Native to Texas and other States. | | Neutral | berrygirl | On Mar 4, 2007, berrygirl from Braselton, GA (Zone 7b) wrote: Used by Native Americans as a tea. It also replaced tea during the time of the Boston Tea Party. Perennial in zones 5-9. | | Positive | renwings | On Oct 5, 2006, renwings from Sultan, WA (Zone 8a) wrote: My herb book relates that the leaves are very good in a tea and the the Hopi indians used it to flavor wild game. To bad its an annual, unlike most other Bergamots.
Very pretty and unusual flower. It did well dispite our record heat this year and recieved no water. But it did flop over and lay on the lawn in my very sandy soil. Still growing well, at a new angle. Pleasant scent. Tolerates shade well.

It has grown very rapidly, although so far it's just taking all the empty space. It acts like a perennial, and now that I know it's an annual, I sure wish I had kept track of those flowers! It has a lovely fragrance, like monarda with a twist of lemon. The soil is haphazardly moist; I'm certainly not paying it any special attention. I'll find out how hardy it is come winter... | | Neutral | smiln32 | On Dec 4, 2004, smiln32 from Oklahoma City, OK (Zone 7a) wrote: This plant is reported to be hardy to zone 6. It prefers a part-shade environment. It is in flower from July to August and the flowers are fragrant. The leaves can be used to make tea. This plant is very easy to grow and is not especially picky about soil types. Bees and butterflies love it. | | Positive | Wingnut | On Jun 15, 2004, Wingnut from Spicewood, TX (Zone 8b) wrote: Native Texas wildflower. "Interesting" fragrance. Loves heat and dryness. This would be a good plant for xeriscape-ish gardens when you want more than just cactus and agaves. | | Positive | poppysue | On Jan 22, 2003, poppysue from Westbrook, ME (Zone 5a) wrote: An easy annual to direct seed in the garden or it can be started a few weeks early indoors. It's fragrant and a wonderful plant to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. |
