About the Monardas This is a hybrid of the famous American wildflower with the bright red crown-shaped flowers, a description of the large scarlet blooms everyone and every hummingbird loves.
There are other species, but our famous Monarda or Bee Balm is native from the far north all the way south to Georgia, it was first discovered by world famous plant explorer John Bartram during the colonial era. Since its a member of the mint family with fragrant foliage, Bee Balm was always a medicinal plant of the native Americans, and today adds wonderful color to perennial gardens and wildflower meadows. Its a strong-growing perennial that likes moisture, and will grow in sun or partial shade.
As with all Bee Balms, the bloom begins in mid-summer, and if you cut off spent flowers for about three weeks, you'll extend the blooming into fall.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent.

"One of my favorite family of flowers. For bees, hummers and me. A very different color, started to bloom on time even though just planted weeks before."
"I used a grouping of three plants as an anchor at one corner of my new garden. I've ordered another set of three to anchor the other corner. I have a very busy bee garden!"
"Has established itself pretty well"
"Healthy plants arrived."
"Great for my Humming Bird Garden"
"Beautiful and fast growing. it grew to 4ft in the first year and bloomed profusely. It did split near the end of the season so some staking may be required until it fills in heavier."
"I got these plants for a trouble part of the garden. Nothing seems to grow well, I have tried everything, but plants just seem to have a tough time growing there. I currently have a hodpoge of plant's growing to see what does best. I bought both the Bee Balm plant and the Heuchera Melting Fire from here. Both are doing great and look like they will thrive in this area. The Bee Balm did not bloom this year but looks healthy and is at least 30" tall, I will expect it to bloom next year. The Heuchera had a rough go at fist, but came back and looks great, both plant seem to be very hardy and adaptable. My plane for next year is to buy more of both, and plant where the other plants have failed."
"Plant was small but growing. The blooms (3) were very pretty. I look forward to next year."
"The packaging for the plants was amazing. The live plants arrived in planting shape like I had bought them locally instead of on line, and they were a good size too. I was able to put them right into the ground without having to pre-pot them up to get some root growth to them."
