I read somewhere earlier about Monarda, that some people trim their plants in half.
I grew my plants from seeds and the first year they did not do hardly anything.
After a mild Winter, in which the plants did not die, as I kept them covered with pine needles, I could tell that they were really spreading.

Anyway, I decided to take the plunge and trim my plants back to encouarge busier growth and double the flowers. Hope I'm not discouraged.
