Balmy™ Purple Monarda Plant (Bee Balm)

Balmy™ Purple Monarda Plants boasts trademark fluffy blooms of vibrant purple that sit atop dark green foliage that is wonderfully aromatic with a mixture of basil and mint tones. This series extends the flowering season with earlier blooming, and it mildew resistant! Beebalm plants flourish on a wide range of soils but do their best with moderately moist, well-drained sites. They will tolerate some drought once established. These nectar rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The flowers also produce a fruit that wild birds enjoy, so don’t deadhead the plants! Monarda can be planted under black oak trees. Deer and rabbits tend to avoid these plants.
