BERGAMOT Wild - MONARDA fistulosa 1000g
Lemon Mint
Family: Lamiaceae
Characteristics: Annual 80 cm
Seed per packet: Approx. 300
Seed per gram: Approx. 3200
An attractive Bergamot with mauve-purple flowers. The foliage has a pungent mint scent and flavor and is popular for making tea.
This wild bergamot is native and widespread in North America and found in floodplains, along shorelines, in open woodlands, and in prairies with moderate moisture.
A useful plant as it also attracts beneficial insects to the garden.
The best time to sow the seed is in Spring after the last frost.
- Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting. This will help soften the seed coat and speed up the germination process.
- Plant the seeds in well-draining soil as they prefer moist soil but don’t like to be waterlogged.
- Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil and keep them moist but not wet.
- Position the pots in a warm and bright location, but not in direct sunlight.
- Once the seedlings emerge, you can transplant them into individual pots or your garden
Germination: 10 to 21 days.
*Please note:
- Please do not be too hasty to discard seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.
- As with all seeds, they must have adequate water to germinate, keep them moist but not too wet.
- These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
- The customer should do their due diligence that they are suited to their region.
