I planted a packet of "Panorama Mix" seeds in early summer. Probably the wrong time. Most of the seedlings died during a week of unusually hot weather. By Oct. I had one little plant that was still doing ok in its 6" pot. I brought it inside thinking I'll transplant outdoors next spring, but now it has a bad case of powdery mildew. I love the blooms on Monarda and will try to grow it again next year.
