How to grow Bee Balm: Plant in well-drained soil, in a full sun location. Provide the plant with good air circulation, which can help to prevent mildew. Basically pest-free, fertilize in the spring with a slow release organic fertilizer, and again mid summer. Shear back as needed to promote new foliage growth and blooms. Water on a consistent basis, avoiding overhead watering if at all possible. In the spring, trim back old growth to 3 inches tall to allow new growth to emerge.
