Homeowner Growing Tips

Grow in full sun, preferably, or dappled shade. Avoid crowding. Plant in moist, well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Amend with compost before planting. Water new plantings regularly to establish. Thereafter, do not allow plants to dry out in summer. Deadhead after flowering for rebloom. In early spring, cut old foliage to the ground; divide every 2-3 years at this time, if desired. Apply a balanced all-purpose fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) in spring when growth resumes.

Coral Reef is beautiful

The coral reef bee balm is a keeper. A very nice color and a hearty plant. The bee balms multiply each year and attract both bees and hummingbirds. I will order more next spring.

Beautiful Bee Balm

The coral reef bee balm is lovely! The color is rich and plant is sturdy. I like to cluster the plants for a full display of color. We enjoy seeing the humming birds that they attract. This is a great perennial.
