Description
30-36" tall x 18-24" wide (seed propagated). This showy wildflower species blooms in summer with a spectacular display of lavender-pink, hummingbird attracting flower clusters held on top of sturdy, upright stems. Its attractive, glossy, aromatic foliage looks good all season and is not affected by powdery mildew. Our selection is grown from seed collected in the scenic but climatically challenged Wichita Mountains of southwestern OK. Enduring bone chilling winters, brutally hot, humid summers and periodic drought, Wichita Mts. Wild Bergamont is a fine choice for low maintenance plantings all across the country. It grows easily in full sun plant in most soil types including clay.

Wild Bergamot
"I purchased two of these. They arrived healthy, I was pleased with the packaging and the plants. I planted them about couple days later and they are thriving and have new growth on them. I hope they over winter well."
plants arrived beautifully packed.
"I will continue to purchase all of my plants from HCG. Love how the plants arrive and thrive."
Wonderful!
"Planted in the fall and it bloomed beautifully the first early summer. I am ordering more."
Shaky start but big fan now
"The plants shipped were super leggy, I was not initially happy as the stems had to be propped up when planted. But in about a month healthy, upright growth started, and three months in the plants look great. Expecting blooms later this summer."
Lots of flowers!
"The bergamot is blooming like crazy. Very full plant. Should have bought more."
So far so good! Will probably buy more!
"Plants have thrived in a part sun/part shade area. It's been a tough year, 4 hail storms combined with extreme heat and they have doubled in size since I planted them in the spring. One plant has a bloom and the others look like they will bloom in the fall. Very happy with them - bunnies have left them alone. Will buy more."
So far, so good!
"Waiting on this lovely plant to bloom. Received very healthy plants with clear instructions for planting and care. Our weather this Spring and Summer season has been abnormally rainy (and periods of hail), but the plants have adapted and faired remarkably well. Waiting on these to flower and continue to spread in the bed."
I would buy this one again
"These plants have done really well in our clay soil that I always amend. I have so many bees on them and I love the color of the plant! Enjoying all the activity. These came with other plants I ordered and they survived the delay in shipping, but the Redbird in the Tree didn't."
They grew so fast and beautiful!
"When they arrived they were so small I thought, well, not this year for flowers. But they sprang up so quickly, and created a beautiful display. Now they are starting to bloom and the flowers are beautiful and fragrant. I just love them! They do need some extra water but the soil around them is not so great and still they are thriving well. Hoping they make it through our winter. For now I couldn't be more pleased."
Wait until second year
"Didn't bloom the first year but the second is fantastic!"
