Monarda 'Balmy Purple'

We all know how vital bees are to the health of the planet, so why not provide a healthy habitat for these little buzzers within your own garden? Balmy Purple Bee Balm is a virtual magnet for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds alike, and this tidy dwarf version of monarda is a colorful addition to borders, hanging baskets, container planters, and massed in a sunny garden spot. Removing spent blooms will keep new flowers coming throughout the summer, and the dark green foliage creates an attractive backdrop for the shaggy purple flowers. This hardy perennial dies down in the fall, but reappears in the spring for a repeat performance.
