Monarda Bee Balm Cherry Pops

Add vibrant color and wildlife to your midsummer borders with Sugar Buzz® Cherry Pops Beebalm, a compact selection of native Monarda featuring dense clusters of fragrant cherry red flowers from midsummer to early fall. Growing 20 inches tall with a 26-inch spread, this mildew-resistant variety forms a substantial mounded habit on strong, well-branched stems. The lush dark green fragrant foliage provides an attractive backdrop throughout the season, while the abundant blooms are excellent for cutting. Attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds but deer-resistant, this vigorous form of a North American native thrives in full sun to partial shade, making it ideal for naturalizing, mass plantings, containers, and borders where you need reliable late-season color and pollinator support.
