I was wondering if purple bee balm is edible?
I've tried the flowers, and I'm happy to saying that they're edible as a garnish!
Oh, I'm so glad you asked! This plan is absolutely edible.
Oh, yes, you can absolutely eat both the leaves and flowers of the lovely purple bee balm! The leaves can be used in all sorts of ways—like soups, stews, beans, marinades, and tomato sauce. And the flowers are great for garnishing dishes or for drying and using as a special herb.
