Bee Balm

Monarda 'Rockin' Raspberry' PP028752

Shaggy, deep raspberry-purple flowers. The foliage smells like mint when crushed.

Beebalm is a traditional favorite for the perennial border, with a striking display of richly colored flowers through the summer months. This mid-sized selection from the SUGAR BUZZ™ Series has shaggy, deep raspberry-purple flowers. The foliage smells like mint when crushed. Displays above average resistance to powdery mildew. The more compact stature makes this useful in containers or tubs. A favorite of both butterflies and hummingbirds. Beebalm spreads quickly: reduce clump size in early spring. Garden selections all have been bred from native North American wildflower species. Flowers are edible. The SUGAR BUZZ® Series trademark is owned by Walters Gardens, Inc.
