Monarda Bee-You® Bee Happy™

Product Details

Small-space gardeners who have shied away from taller Bee Balms will delight in Monarda Bee-You® Bee Happy™, a compact, mildew-resistant variety that forms a tidy clump at the edge of the border or in containers. Plants are covered in summer with cherry-red, chocolate-centered blooms that are a feeding station for pollinators and hummingbirds. The flowers are carried on upright stems over fragrant foliage that releases herbal scents of Mint and Basil when cut or crushed. ‘MON001BHA’ PP 29,080

This North American genus has several species, all of which share tartly fragrant foliage and the square stems that typify members of the Mint family. The late-summer flower heads are hemispheres of tubular blooms in brilliant colors. Plants thrive in full sun or partial shade and evenly moist soil (which helps avoid mildew).
