Wildflower Week: Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) 
.
Flowers: June-July 
.
Wild bergamot (commonly called bee balm) is cherished for its minty, fragrant leaves used in tea and dried flower arrangements. Historically, it was used to treat colds, coughs, fevers, and respiratory issues. This plant serves as a crucial nectar source for pollinators, attracting butterflies, moths, and hummingbirds with its aromatic blooms.
Did you know tallgrass prairie is as biodiverse as the Amazon rainforest?

Today, less than 1% of native prairies remain in Missouri. Tallgrass prairies have become one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world. ๐ŸŒŽ

Powell Gardens is committed to protecting the prairie and our #MidwestSpiritOfPlace. Learn more at powellgardens.org.
