greene said:I grew some type of Bee Balm and it really was beautiful but not a seed to be found.

Question please about the Jacob Cline bee balm:
When I look on the internet half the people say this plant is sterile/will not set seeds and other other half say it re-seeds like crazy.

Which bee balms will make viable seeds and which will not?

I rather doubt folks are seeing it reseed like crazy; they're probably just seeing how well it spreads by runners/rootlets. Just a guess here, but I'd side with the folks who think JC is sterile, or nearly so.

I've tried to find seeds on the native monardas, but I'm either not very adept with the timing, or I don't know what exactly to look for.
