Question:

What are the site requirements for bee balms?

Answer:

Bee balms (Monarda species) perform best in full sun.  The planting site should receive at least 6 hours of direct sun per day.  Plants grown in partial shade won’t flower as heavily and are more susceptible to powdery mildew.  Bee balms also prefer moist, well-drained soils.
