A packet contains ~500 seeds.

Plants are small, but established clumps.

This member of the beebalm family is smaller and less aggressive then most of it's relatives, it also features shorter flowers, making it attractive to a greater diversity of pollinators. The upper leaves turn a dusky pink/white when in bloom. The flowers are yellow with brown spots. It has a odd life cycle where it sometimes acts as a perennial and sometimes as a annual, allow seeds to fall after blooming and it should stick around no matter what.

Surface sow in spring. Starting in pots is probably preferable due to small seed size, but direct sowing is also a option.

Spotted beebalm does well in full sun to part shade and does well in any well drained soil. Tolerates drought and extremely weak soil, including bare sand or gravel. While generally considered a perennial, this species is short lived and sometimes dies after a single year, seed heads should be left in place to allow for self-seeding.
