Bergamot can be invasive in gardens and should be treated with the same containment measures as mint.
The Bergamot used in Earl Grey tea is completely different; it is a small orange grown mostly in Southern Italy.
This Bergamot is not the same as Bergamot mint.
History
It is called Bergamot because its aroma apparently is similar to that of a Bergamot Orange. The plant has dark pink, red or purple flowers that smell a bit like oranges.
Also called:  Bee's Balm
Oswego Tea Monarda didyma (Scientific Name) Bergamotte (German) Austeralis (Roman)
