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.
