Monarda Bee Balm Balmy Purple

Bring vibrant color and wildlife to compact spaces with Balmy Purple Beebalm, a petite selection of native Monarda featuring masses of fragrant purple flowers with hot pink overtones and dark red centers from late spring through late summer. Growing just 12 inches tall, this mildew-resistant variety forms a neat mounded habit perfect for the front of borders and small garden areas. The fragrant green foliage adds texture throughout the season, while the abundant blooms are excellent for cutting. Attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds but deer-resistant, this compact form of a North American native thrives in full sun to partial shade, making it ideal for naturalizing, mass plantings, and containers where you need reliable summer color in a manageable size.
