Bought bee balm this year and I am wondering do you deadhead it?
At what point? The stuff I have looks like they are about done as the petals, if they are that, are coming off little by little.
Two pics. One where it looked good and now when it looks like it needs to be deadhead. That current pic sucks - was getting dark and really windy.

Thanks for the help.

Hello There, I dead head my bee balm regularly. I'm really not sure if you're supposed to or not, but I make it a habit to just go through once a day and pretty much dead head anything that has gone by. I don't see how it could be harmful, so might as well! My mother however just lets her beebalm go to seed, and she has an abundance of beautiful plants. I think its really your personal preference!
