General information:
Bergamot
Bergamot, or Monarda, is a striking perennial herb renowned for its aromatic foliage and vibrant flowers. Growing between 60 to 120 cm tall, it features square stems and lance-shaped leaves that emit a delightful citrusy fragrance when crushed. The flowers bloom in clusters from mid-summer to early autumn, showcasing shades of red, pink, purple, and white, attracting bees and butterflies. Bergamot thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, moist soil, making it low-maintenance once established. Its ability to spread quickly adds to its charm in herb gardens, cottage gardens, or as border plants.
