Monarda didyma Grape Gumball

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.

Forms a solid dome of vibrant magenta, 2-21/2” flowers on strong well branched stems. The dark green foliage forms an upright clump that will fill out containers nicely but won’t run all over the gardens.
