Bee Balm


Question
It took my plants 3 years to bloom and now they are spreading rapidly. May I make cuttings for transplanting from the ones I prune?
Thank you,
John

Answer
John,

Absolutely.  Bee balm (Monarda didyma) will root readily from cuttings.

Take a cutting with two set of leaves and remove the bottom set.  Dip the bottom end in a rooting hormone available at your local garden center and put in the pot with moist growing media.  Cover the pot with a baggie and place in indirect light.  The cutting should root in about 3 weeks.

Hope this helps.
