Mama bee balm has some splainin to do! Last year, I bought a small, quart sized plant of bee balm, the Jacob Cline cultivar, which is known to be cherry red. There were only three small little stalks, a handful of bright red flowers, and that was it. This year, they quintupled in size. Not only did they reach over 5 feet tall, there are at least 20 stalks coming up. What is super interesting, is several of them have a flower that is a completely different color, almost resembling the lavender wild bergamot. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe there were some stray seeds? Weird cross pollination? Definitely interesting! Originally by u/Cotton-DNA on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/2ascu6z7
