Bee balm is one of the best perennials you can add to your flower beds if you want to enjoy seeing lots of butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds visiting your borders. A key part of annual maintenance is cutting back bee balm, but when is the best time to do this?
There are benefits to consider from taking time to cut back bee balm more than once. This includes before blooming, which can help boost the shape and create masses of the stunning firework-like flowers that both gardeners and pollinators adore, and after the flowering is over for the season.
