Description
A famous American wildflower with bright red, crown-shaped flowers that everyone and every hummingbird loves. 'Jacob Cline' is not a man-made hybrid, but a natural selection of wild Bee Balm, noted and bred for its mildew-resistance. Given enough air circulation, 'Jacob Cline' will stay mildew free much longer than many Bee Balms, making it a valuable addition to the perennial border or meadowscape.
'Jacob Cline' was featured as very attractive to hummingbirds in a Mt Cuba Center Trial Garden Research Report. These reports evaluate native plants and related cultivars for horticultural and ecological value, highlighting the ecosystem services they provide.

Reviews
"I was not happy that the plant was pretty beaten up buy I contacted the seller immediately. They offered to replace or refund. I planted my little guy and with love and patience it is growing new leaves. 😁 I would absolutely buy from this vendor again."
too early to report back
"too early to report back"
"They arrived in wonderful condition and have been planted! Thank you!!!"
In full bloom
"I planted this bee balm a few months ago. And now it is about 4 feet tall with pretty red flowers. It's a fast grower and it's already spreading. However, several of the flower stalks have fallen over because they are so tall. I may need to use stakes. It's very pretty!"
I am back to buy more of the beautiful Hummingbird favorite.
"They are a beautiful bright red. Hummingbirds gather around them. I did need to support them but its well worth their beauty. I'll plan ahead for next year. I'm back to buy more."
Perfect!!
"Absolutely beautiful! Got established quickly and is now starting grow! Loves the sun and is beautiful when paired with Black-eyed Susan, Shasta daisy, Anise Hyssop, and/or lamb's ear. Love these!"
I should have ordered a few more

Excellent plant!
"Beautiful flowers in terms of color. Really cool flowers that look like each is wearing a fancy hat."

"It's a very tiny plant. First time I got one in very bad condition, almost dead. Then they sent me a replacement pretty soon in a very good healthy condition. But it's still tiny. I'm patiently waiting it for blooming and attracting humming bird."
