Wild bergamot or Bee balm (Monarda fistulosa) is a wild flower native to North America. This plant is often used as honey plant, medicinal plant, and ornamental plant.
Wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) is a native perennial from slender creeping rhizomes and thus commonly occurs in large clumps. Plants are up to 3 ft (0.9 m) tall with a few erect branches. Leaves are 2–3 in (5.1–7.6 cm) long, lance-shaped, and toothed.
Flower clusters are solitary at the ends of branches. Each cluster is about 1.5 in (3.8 cm) long and contains about 20–50 flowers. Look for wild bergamot in rich soils in dry fields, thickets, and clearings, usually on limy soil.
It ranges from Quebec to Alberta and south to Texas. The plant is noted for its fragrance, and is a source of oil of thyme. One authority states that Native Americans recognized four varieties that had different odors. Wild bergamot flowers from June–September.
