- Wild Bergamot Seeds Heirloom NON-GMO Perennial Fragrant, Delicious and Flavorful
- Keep moist, not letting the seeds dry out between watering. DO NOT cover the seeds with soil! **SOIL Temperature for Germination: 70F.
- The pretty plant — though not choosy as to where it grows — does prefer “wet feet” and partial shade. Water when the soil surface is dry to the touch.
- Pinch off the tops of the plants several times during the growing season to encourage branching and a bushier grow habit. When the roots fill the container (about 2 months) they are ready for planting in the garden.
- Plant the Wild Bergamot seedlings in a sunny, weed-free, well-drained soil, 20 – 30 inches a part. Water, if there are no rains. Wild Bergamot seeds can also be broadcast on a weed-free surface from January to mid-May in sunny locations. Irrigate regularly to keep herb seeds moist until germination, and continue to water seedlings during pro-longed dry periods.

Medium to tall in height, this plant looks great planted en masse, or with other meadow dwellers. Its sweetly aromatic foliage makes it even more desirable. A classic! Often used as a honey plant, medicinal plant, and garden ornamental. When harvested, Bergamot is excellent for potpourri and dried flower arrangements, it makes a great garnish in wine cups and fruit punch, adds zing to lemonade and apple jelly and can also be used to flavor salads. Height: 24 in to 48 inches. HOW TO GROW: Grows to 12-24 inches tall and wide. Trim plants back before flowering to stimulate a dense growth habit.

For drying, cut stems with flower heads just before full flowering for the best flavor. Dry on wire racks in a cool, airy place. Pick off leaves and store in an airtight jar. *** Sow seeds indoors just on the surface of the soil. Keep moist, not letting the seeds dry out between watering.
