What is happening to my bee balm? It is not blooming.
This bee balm is being affected by powdery mildew, a common problem on Monarda, especially late in the season. However, it usually affects the plant’s appearance more than its health. Learn why bee balm may not bloom well, how full sun and good air circulation can help reduce powdery mildew, when to cut plants back, and how choosing powdery mildew-resistant cultivars may help. These strategies can lead to healthier-looking foliage and better blooms. Here is a link to the monarda (bee balm) study Celeste talked about: https://mtcubacenter.org/trials/monarda/
