Narrative
Wild bergamot is a native, perennial forb that grows 2-5 feet tall. The stems are square, branched or unbranched, smooth and somewhat hairy toward the top. The leaves on short petioles are opposite; each pair is at right angles to the adjacent pair. Individual leaves are somewhat oval in shape, 2.5 x 1 inches, but narrowed and pointed toward the tip. Margins are unevenly toothed. Both leaves and stems have a minty aroma and a gray-green color that may be tinged with purple. The root system is a clump of fibrous rootlets and rhizomes. Flowers are slender pink to lavender tubes, each with a distinct lip or tube. Fruits are 4 nutlets, 1/32 inch in diameter, enclosed by a persistent calyx. Uses include roadside and wildlife plantings, prairie creations and restorations, landscaping, and for increasing plant diversity in prairie communities. This Northern Iowa Eco-zone Germplasm represents materials collected in remnant prairies from the northern one-third of counties in Iowa. Materials were then regenerated by bulking samples at the University of Northern Iowa Tallgrass Prairie Center, Cedar Falls, IA where plots were separated via distance of circa 1,500 feet from other M. fistulosa plots. Germplasm was regenerated again at the USDA Elsberry Plant Materails Center in Elsberry, MO following the same isolation protocol of 1,500 feet.

Pedigree
Description:
Northern Iowa Germplasm was developed by bulking samples followed by a regeneration cycle executed at the University of Northern Iowa Tallgrass Prairie Center where plots were separated via distance of circa 1,500 feet from other M. fistulosa plots. Germplasm was regenerated again at the USDA Elsberry Plant Materails Center in Elsberry, Missouri following the same isolation protocol of 1,500 feet. Original seed was collected from remnant prairies in the northern one-third of counties in Iowa.
