How to grow wild bergamot

Monarda fistulosa

When to plant wild bergamot

A clumping plant that performs best in full sun and moderately moist soils. It tolerates occasional drought, but water-stressed plants are more prone to mildew, so site it where soil stays moderately moist.

Wild Bergamot 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.
