Every garden needs to have bee balm! Nothing brings the sights and smells of summer to the garden like this plant. A favorite of hummingbirds, butterflies and all kinds of bees, this plant is very easy to grow.
This variety is one of the tallest monardas, reaching 36"-40" once established. You'll notice the raspberry tint on the leaves as well as the bloom make this varietal distinctive.
We sell live plants as 8"-10" root cuttings from last year's plants. There will be at least 2 stalk buds per root, most likely more than that. They are not picky about soil type, just amend what you've got with peat or organic material/mulch to hold in moisture. They like to keep their roots moist and their leaves dry. Water their roots, not their leaves and you'll have happy plants throughout the season. Deadheading the blooms will help bee balm keep blooming into the Fall. Leave the stalks on the plants in the Winter as a food opportunity for birds. This plant will reproduce more rapidly underground via runners than by seed. Ships to arrive in 2-3 days.
