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. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds.

"Really surprised how nicely the plants branched out the first year and I had a number of beautiful blooms. Looking forward to future years as the plant expand."
"this was my second one that replaced the previous one that never grew. This one has lasted a few months, but also did not grow and is now starting to shrivel up. Disappointed, as this one looked pretty in the pictures. I have bought many items from this company, and I have had not complaints. . . . . everything they have shipped has thrived beautifully. I guess bee balm is not meant for me!!"
"This first year it may not get to its ideal size. . . but wait for year two and it should be gorgeous. The hot pink color will will be so bold."
"Liked the flowers. Only 1 plant bloomed. It will take another year for them to really take off."
"Used in a narrow sun-filled border so size important. It provides a lovely pop of color but not a fast grower."
"I put this next to red monarda that spreads and the red monarda, which is taller, is taking over this plant. Petite Delight does not spread like other monarda. I've had this plant for 2 years and it has gotten bigger but I will move it somewhere that it can be seen around its neighbors. (I'm in zone 4)"
