Sugar Buzz® Grape Gumball Bee Balm (PP27,498) is one of the Sugar Buzz® series of Bee Balms (Monarda). Sugar Buzz® Grape Gumball has good resistance to powdery mildew and a non-aggressive habit. In early summer, the fragrant foliage is covered with textural 2-inch magenta flowers that attract all kinds of pollinators – from bees, to butterflies, to ruby-throated hummingbirds. Plant Sugar Buzz® Grape Gumball Bee Balm in moist to average soils in a sunny spot for best bloom. Deadheading the first flush of bloom will create side shoots for a second show. Leave the seed heads standing in fall and winter to provide food for birds, and cut down in the early spring. Bee Balm has a wide native range in North America. Consider using with smaller native grasses for a textured border. Deer resistant.

"My plant arrived quickly and healthy. My hope is that it makes it thru the winter."
"This one is growing. It was small. It is not likely to bloom at all this year. But I feel confident that it will grow big enough to be ready to bloom next year. Then I will know how attractive it may be."
"I love the new balm flowers they are hardy look amazing. American Meadows is the best place I've found to order quality plants and bulbs. If you have a question you call them and they help you out I enjoy humming birds and they love these flowers"
"It grew very good, but did not get very tall, but the weather was so hot that I feel that was why it did not make it. I will try it again."
