I bought these to help with pollinators. I keep bees. They are supposed to like these. The seeds are growing, it is getting cooler, so looking forward to seeing them next year. Good quality seed.

You are missing from me –
These are great! Bought several packets from different companies and these have not only thrived the best they have spread very well.
They’re beautiful and a hit with bees and butterflies.
Plant them and give them time!
Second season and beyond will knock your socks off

This is Monarda citriodora, not Mentha × piperita f. citrata. True lemon Mentha exists, but this is the Monarda impostor. I wish I had known this before I ordered, and it’s unfortunate the industry uses the misleading moniker of “lemon mint”. I’m still happy to grow it but it’s not what I actually wanted, shame on me for not researching.

Hate to bash a small company trying to make a go of it……but…….these never germinated. I am not new to germinating seeds, I know how to do it and these are not viable seeds. I used several different methods and come up with nothing.

I had a minor bump in the road with my order. I immediately contacted the Seller and within minutes the matter was resolved by the owner of the company. Amazon only allows 5 stars … regardless of the limit, this Seller is TWENTY STARS … yes, 20 STARS. I got a personal email from the owner of the company and right out of the gate an explanation and resolution immediately achieved. By far, this is the best experience I have ever enjoyed and best service directly from the owner of a company with which I have made a purchase. There was no customer service rep from Amazon involved, it was JAMES … the owner of the company. Thank you James for the BEST experience I have ever had on Amazon. VERY GRATEFULLY, Kevin Prior

I bought these to winter sow, which I did winter 2023. I had a lot of success with germination and the seedlings easily transplanted into my perennial garden. Now I have bees galore due to these beautiful plants.

You may wish to omit my review, since I am a first-time gardener-from-seed, and I did not have much luck with anything!! I followed the directions on the bee balm insert and also obtained information from a planting guide regarding soil preparation, when to plant, when/if to fertilize, etc. No luck…… nothing grew from my plantings – zilch, nada, zero, nothing!! On the other hand, my husband’s vegetable garden is growing beautifully and I wanted to have the attractive bee balm growing in and near his vegetable plants to attract butterflies and bees to pollenate the vegetable plants. So much for loving thoughts for my husband’s garden. He really didn’t need my loving thoughts or the beautiful flowering plants, but I would like to have seen what this type of bee balm looked like in real time. 3 stars for healthy looking seeds, even though they were tiny, little things.
JHENS –
Good germination rate. Sowed directly in ground mid May. Sprouted mid June. Flowered mid August. Zone 6a
