Monarda didyma ‘Pardon My Cerise’

Common Name: Bee Balm

No room for the tall, bushy, traditional Bee Balm in your garden?  Here is a petite selection that’s easy to tuck into the front of your sunny border and combination containers.  Reaching just a little over a foot tall at maturity, this compact selection forms a bushy, well-branched clump of green, semi-glossy foliage.

From mid through late summer, dark cherry pink flowers sit just at the top of the foliage. Though the plant may be dwarf, the flowers are the same size as taller selections, measuring a full 2½-3″ across. They add a bright splash of color to the border in high summer.

This selection also offers good resistance to powdery mildew, a problem with many older Bee Balms. Just provide good air circulation, sunshine, and plenty of water and these plants will thrive!

Monarda is native to eastern North America, so it is easy to grow and it multiplies quickly. The flowers’ sweet nectar attracts scores of hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees to the garden. The aromatic foliage smells like mint when crushed and is often used to flavor teas.

Attracts bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. Deer resistant.
