Wild bergamot is a great choice for attracting pollinators; bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds swarm the flowers along with many other insects on the search for nectar. It is closely related to Bee Balm, which is shorter, blooms earlier, and grows in more shade.Deer tend to avoid this minty plant. It has a history of medicinal use and a tea can be made from the leaves. The flowers are showy in floral arrangements, both fresh cut or dried. Wild bergamot tolerates drought fairly well, though some of the lower leaves may turn yellow and fall off.Uses: Pollinators, cut flowers, edible, medicinal, deer tolerant, droughtBloom time: June & JulyHeight: 3 to 4 feetSpace: 16 to 24 inchesSun: Full sun to light shadeMoisture: Average
