In spring loosen enriched garden soil down to a 6" depth.  Best started about two months  before your last frost in pots where you place seed on surface of soil and lightly cover with fine sand or vermiculite as they need light to germinate.  Bee Balm requires consistent warmth to germinate and the use a germination mat is recommended.

Once to a height of 2", and after your last freeze, transplant to your garden.  Bee balm dislike extremely hot weather so if in zones 7-9 you should plant where you get afternoon shade.

You can direct seed these but due to their slow growth rate they tend to get overwhelmed by other garden plants and weeds.  Direct sow from late winter to very early spring and lightly cover with screened peat.  Bee Balm needs temps to stay in 70's or below to germinate and won't germinate in late spring or summer heat.
