Monarda didyma Sugar Buzz Cherry Pops

1 GALLON POT 

(Bee Balm)

Zone 4

Full Sun/Partial Shade

 Bee Balm is traditional favourite for the perennial border, with a striking display of richly-coloured flowers through the summer months. Foliage is delightfully fragrant. Powdery mildew may be a problem in summer.  A favourite of both butterflies and hummingbirds.  Bee Balm spreads quickly; reduce clump in early spring. Garden selections all have been bred from native North American wildflower species. Good heat tolerance. Flowers are edible.

The members of the Sugar Buzz Series from Walter’s Gardens hybridizing are perfectly suited to the middle of the flower border. All members in this series are Similiar in size, bloom time, and vigor, making it easy for growers to offer the entire series. In midsummer, they form a solid dome of colour with their 2-21/2” flowers on strong, well branched stems. The dark green foliage forms an upright clump with enough vigor to quickly fill out containers nicely but are not aggressive in the garden.
