A heavenly new perennial which has added both brilliant, crimson colour and zesty scent to the Cutting Garden. I cannot get enough of the fresh, citrusy aroma of the foliage on a warm day. The bees definitely agree
Bee-balm leaves and flowers are edible. The leaves can be used to make tea and the flowers to add flavour and texture to salads and soups.
Dry the leaves to make a bergamot tea, or scatter the rich and vibrant petals onto puddings and jellies.
