The Bee Balm sets runners on the ground but also I've been told and my friend showed me that you really have to let the flower pod get very dry, where it is brown before you pick it. She picked one from her Jacob Cline and put it inside a small baggie and I shook seeds from that pod last evening inside the bag. The leaves look like and smell like mint and I hope that I will be able to recognize the difference when I'm pulling weeds. The previous owner had mint planted and for 6 1/2 yrs. I've been pulling it. Mint leaves are very similar but smaller. I hope I'm right about this. I'm sure more experienced gardeners will tell me if I am not and that's fine..we all learn from the more experienced gardeners.
