Bee balm is a superb choice for drawing pollinators to your garden, boasting vibrant blossoms that resemble fireworks and come in various colors. Its vigorous growth and prolonged bloom time make it a standout feature in any garden. Bee balm is not only a magnet for pollinators and a visual delight in the summer but also offers edible leaves and flowers. Every part of the plant above the ground is consumable. The leaves and flowers can be enjoyed either raw or cooked, offering a minty flavor akin to oregano and a citrusy scent. For those who enjoy Earl Grey tea, bee balm tea will provide a pleasantly familiar taste.
