When to Buy & Plant Bee Balm
Price Seasonality
Prices peak in spring when demand is highest. Bee balm spreads readily, so fewer plants cover more ground than expected. Fall clearance offers 15-30% savings.
Pro tip: Buy in fall or start with fewer plants than you think you need. Bee balm colonizes quickly via underground runners. Divide every 3 years to maintain vigor and share with friends.
