Plant Information

Plant Care

Petite Wonder Bee Balm thrives with consistent maintenance throughout the growing season. Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming and prevents self-seeding. Water at the base of the plant to prevent powdery mildew, and ensure good air circulation between plants. In late fall, cut back stems to ground level and apply a light layer of mulch for winter protection.

For optimal growth, fertilize with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer in early spring when new growth emerges. Monitor for common pests like spider mites, though this variety shows excellent resistance to most garden problems. Division every 2-3 years helps maintain plant vigor and prevent center die-out.

Planting Instructions

Plant Petite Wonder Bee Balm in spring or early fall for best establishment. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Gently remove the plant from its container and loosen the root ball. Place in the hole, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface.

Backfill with soil, firming gently to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly and apply a 2-inch layer of mulch, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot. Space plants 12-15 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
