bee balm

how does this plant grow, is it from seed ?,
if it is, I'll put in for swaps, I love the colour and shape of it but have never grown it before,
is it a fussy plant, does it need special soil, like hydrangeas etc, any info eagerly anticipated :D

Hi MS. I take it you are talking about Monarda? Last year I grew 'citriodora' commonly known as lemon mint and that was happy in a pot in semi-shade. In September I sowed 'austromonana' commonly called bergamot which according to the blurb on the packet likes a light, well-drained soil in full sun. It'll get semi-shade and it had two chances! ;)
I can spare a pinch of either/both if you want. :)

I think it's the bergamot, it's a beautiful plant, if you can spare a ew seeds, that would be great, anything I can swap for it ?
