Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Panorama Red bee balm grows best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, particularly in hotter climates. This perennial plant prefers loamy, moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter such as compost​.
When to Grow
Panorama Red bee balm can started indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost, or direct sown after the last frost. The plant is hardy in USDA zones 3-9, making it suitable for a wide range of climates​.
How to Sow and Plant
Seeds need light to germinate, so sprinkle them on the soil surface and lightly press them in without covering. Transplant the seedlings outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 12 inches apart to ensure good air circulation and to prevent powdery mildew.
How to Grow
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and reduce weeds. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer. For a bushier plant and more blooms, you can pinch back the stems in early spring. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage additional blooms throughout the growing season​.
How to Save
Seeds usually mature 1-3 weeks after flowers bloom. To test, bend the spent head into a bag and tap. If the seeds are brown, they are ready. Spread them out and allow them to dry for 2-3 days. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place.
