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.
Features oversized shaggy heads in red with pink undertones. Foliage is delightfully fragrant, and significantly more resistant to powdery mildew than most older varieties.
