Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Deep maroon buds burst into shaggy, electric purple, edible flowers, attracting not only bees, but hummingbirds and butterflies as well. The dark green, lush foliage has a pleasant minty-basil scent. Its compact and uniform habit makes this herbaceous perennial a favorite for sunny borders and containers. This Monarda of the Bee-You® series is significantly more resistant to powdery mildew than older varieties. Easy to care for and strikingly gorgeous. Bee balm does spread quickly. Reducing the clump size in early spring is recommended. PP29032
