Monarda Pectinata – Also commonly known as the Pony BeeBalm. These annuals bloom from June to July and are easy to grow. They are showy with their long-lasting blooms of white to pale pink and purple with two irregularly shaped petals. They grow best in full sun in well-draining soils and will grow between 2 – 3 feet tall. They are fragrant which brings all sorts of pollinators around such as butterflies, bees, and birds but keep the deer and rabbits away. The leaves are edible, and they are best cooked and put in salads! Please do your own research and/or consult with a physician first before consuming any type of plant or flower. It is a larva host for several species of moths! An interesting fact about this plant is that it was named after the 16th-century Spanish botanist Nicolas Monardes who studied the plant. For germination purposes, keep seed moist and covered thinly. Being that it is easy to grow, these flowers are great for the beginning gardener! Don’t miss out on this flower seed find, they will bring you blooms that will surely add a nice touch to any garden!

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right! 
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!! 
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME. 
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL. 
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
