Monarda, also known as “Bee Balm,” is your aromatic answer to attracting butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden. These early summer bloomers grow from 3 to 4 feet and are the perfect addition to the back of borders, but are equally stunning as a focal planting. Bold colored blooms and delightful scents make monarda plants ideal garden accents. Deer tend to avoid this exciting perennial plant that will thrive in any well drained moisture retentive soil. These plants are perfect for naturalized gardens.
