This top-rated cultivar sailed past the competition in mildew resistance—a top consideration when growing bee balms. Massive flower power, too! Tall and bushy, it flowers for weeks in summer and grows to a 4’ circle in 3 years for a hummingbird, butterfly and bee garden party.
Monarda is native to eastern North America, so it is easy to grow and it multiplies quickly. The flowers' sweet nectar attracts scores of hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees to the garden. The aromatic foliage smells like mint when crushed and is often used to flavor teas.
