Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Monarda 'Cotton Candy' has light pink flowers held above the highly mildew resistant, dark green, upright foliage throughout summer. The Sugar Buzz series offers short, compact plants for the front of the border that are smothered in long-lasting flowers. The flowers' sweet nectar attracts scores of hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees to the garden. The aromatic foliage smells like mint when crushed and can be used to make an herbal tea.
