Propagating Bee Balm (Monarda) from Cuttings

My bee balm took 3 years to bloom and is now spreading rapidly. Can I make cuttings from pruned stems for transplanting?

Easy Bee Balm Cuttings

Yes—bee balm roots readily. Take cuttings with two leaf sets, remove bottom set, dip in rooting hormone, plant in moist media. Cover with baggie, place in indirect light. Roots in ~3 weeks. This is a great way to expand your planting or share with friends.
