When to Sow Monarda Didyma Bergamot Seeds

Where to Sow

Sow the seeds under cover onto the surface of a good seed sowing compost and cover the seed with a sprinkling of sieved compost or vermiculite. Place at a temperature of 18-21°C (65-70°F) until seeds germinate which usually takes 10-30 days.

What to do Next

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into pots. When plants are large, plant out 30cm (12") apart into a well drained soil in full sun or part shade.

Flowers

Handy Tip

Cut back plants in the autumn after flowering finishes, and new shoots will reappear the following spring.
