I received the plant a month ago: it is in a pot on my terrace and the stems are turning black with white powder on the leaves that have been drying up for the past two weeks. I was completely rebuffed on the phone by one of your employees. Outrageous considering the replacement guarantee!

Description
Monarde 'Prärienacht', which belongs to the fistulosa group, is an herbaceous perennial plant with a rounded clump habit. From July to October, upright stems bear fragrant flowers, grouped in terminal whorls, measuring 2 to 3cm (1in) in length. These flowers are deep purple in colour and have two lips: an upright upper lip shaped like a helmet and a lower lip that is more spreading and divided into three lobes. The flowers of this bee balm attract bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies.
The leaves are deciduous. They measure 10 to 15cm (4 to 6in) in length and have a lanceolate (lance-shaped) and dentate form. They turn green, with prominent veins. These are aromatic leaves used for scented sachets and potpourri. The plant can also be used as a tea plant. It is also called Oswego tea.
Originating from eastern North America, this plant is very hardy. It can reach a height of 90cm (35in). It is found in meadows, forests, and copses. Its flowers are used as cut flowers. It is a medicinal plant. The plant's oil is used in aromatherapy to combat depression and strengthen the immune system. However, it is primarily an ornamental plant, and its medicinal properties should not be used without medical advice as it can produce side effects.

Planting and care
It thrives in full sun and tolerates light shade. Plant it in fairly rich, light, moist to wet but well-drained soil. It cannot tolerate soil drought, even for a few days. It does not like even the slightest trace of salinity in the soil. Do not let the soil dry out in summer and protect it from excessive winter humidity. Remove faded inflorescences to prolong flowering. Cut back the dry clump once it is no longer decorative, at the latest by the end of winter. Bergamot is susceptible to powdery mildew during hot and dry summers. In this case, treat or cut back the clump. It can also be attacked by slugs in spring.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
