Monarda fistulosa, the wild bergamot or bee balm, is a wildflower in the mint family with beautiful lilac flowers.

The leaves are ovate, deep green and have a minty/bergamot fragrance when crushed, rubbed or infused.

The flowers are unique - a spectacular show of unusually shaped soft lilac flowers.

Wild bergamot often grows in rich soils in dry fields, thickets, and clearings, usually on limy soil.

The Botany
The Myth

Wild bergamot is considered a medicinal plant by many Native Americans. The Oneida call it "Number Six", in honor of it being "the sixth medicine given by the Creator";[22] other nations that use it include the Menominee, the Ojibwe, and the Winnebago (Ho-Chunk). It is used most commonly to treat colds, and is frequently made into a tea. Today, many families still use wild bergamot during the cold and flu season. The tea may be sweetened with honey, as it tends to be quite strong
