I dont know much about bee balm, but I pinched the terminals on my lady in red plants till about june and they got really huge. I just dont know what Im looking in bee balm but I will try and find some next year. I had some poor luck with agastache shades of red , killed them all.

i planted about 30+ bee balms last year(just 3 different varieties), they were all very leggy their first year and flopped over very easily

not leggy this year, they filled in faster than i thought

keep them moist and they will fill in very well. the areas that dont get enough water, have a lack of lower leaves

i would plant them out in the garden

Mine are in pots are are doing splendid..but yes I agree..very leggy. Although I am noticing as the summer wanes on there seem to be more sprouts at the base and the "legs" not have "arms" for lack of a better term. Mine will stay in pots until I have the HB garden set up and then I will transfer them..although they have some weird white fuzz on the leaves..not all of them just some..could that be mold?
