Love how these turned out! The colors are bold, and the scent is subtle yet pleasant. Pollinators can�t get enough. Definitely ordering more next season.
I planted these bee balm seeds in early spring, and by mid-summer they were flourishing. The flowers are vibrant and attract so many pollinators to my garden. Very happy with how easy they were to grow.
I bought these on a whim, and I�m so glad I did! The colors are gorgeous and the fragrance is subtle but pleasant. Easy to manage even in partial sun.
These seeds brought so much life to my garden. The flowers bloom continuously and the hummingbirds love them. Germination was faster than I anticipated, which was a bonus.
My backyard is buzzing thanks to these seeds! The blooms are bright and have been a magnet for bees and hummingbirds. They germinated quickly and needed minimal care.
