These seeds were collected from Monarda pectinata, also known as Pony Beebalm, Plains Lemon Monarda, Miners Lettuce, and Spotted Bee Balm. The leaves from this plant can be cooked and used as a flavoring in salads and other dishes. Monarda plants, in general, are larval host plants for the Pyrausta inveterascalis, Orange Mint, and Hermit sphinx moths. They are also a nectar source for the Dull Firetip, Pine White, Diana Fritillary and Cassus Roadside-Skipper butterflies and the Bedstraw hawkmoth. This annual can be grown in all USDA Hardiness Zones.
