Bee Balm (Bergamot) - The Complete Plantvale Tea Guide (PDF)
A pollinator showstopper that brews into a citrus-and-thyme tea the colonists called Oswego - here is how to grow it well and beat the mildew.
This guide treats bee balm as what it really is - a beautiful, easy, but mildew-prone perennial that rewards airflow and steady moisture with a fragrant, caffeine-free cup. It is a calm, home-scale guide: a sunny border or a roomy pot, not a farm. We will cover choosing the right plant, growing it well, harvesting and drying both leaves and flowers, and brewing a cup that actually tastes of something - and we will be plain about its one real weakness so you are not surprised by it.
