When to plant spotted beebalm

NC State Extension describes spotted beebalm as a short-lived, clump-forming perennial that spreads modestly by rhizome. Set out plants or divisions in spring in well-drained soil; the oregano-scented leaves can be used for tea, and removing spent flowers can prolong bloom.

Spotted Beebalm is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
