Plant Jacob Cline Bee Balm in garden beds that provide moisture retentive soil and plenty of sun.
Brent Wilson · Gardenality Administrator · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Pruning
I cut my bee balms back to the ground after they've finished blooming to encourage a flush of new growth and maybe some new blooms. I cut it back again at the end of the season when the foliage has died back.

I fertilize bee balm with a mild organic flower food in early spring when new growth begins to emerge and again after I've cut them back in summer.

Many monarda have problems with mildew but Jacob Cline is quite resistant. Drought can cause the plant some problems so provide supplemental water during prolonged dry periods.
