How do you sow bee balm outdoors?
To sow bee balm outdoors in spring, wait for mild conditions suited to your climate and the seed packet instructions. Choose a bright position, remove weeds and prepare fine soil that stays moist without becoming waterlogged.
Sow thinly on the surface and gently press the seeds against the soil. Follow the packet's covering instructions without burying them deeply. Water with a fine spray so the seeds stay in place, and keep the surface moist during germination.
Once seedlings are sufficiently developed, thin or transplant them with spacing suited to the variety's mature size. Continue checking moisture and allow air to circulate between plants. Germination and first flowering depend on the species and growing conditions.
