Bee balm, also known as monarda or bergamot, is much-adored for its bright flowers with tubular petals and colorful bracts. Loved by gardeners and pollinators alike, these attractive, nectar-rich flowers can be enjoyed for the longest time possible if you deadhead bee balm throughout the season.
Yes, deadheading isn’t strictly necessary when you grow bee balm. However, taking the time to deadhead bee balm rewards you with more of these glorious flowers as well as neater, healthier plants. That should be enough to convince you of the merits of deadheading.
