Product Description

Bold purple flowers
Grows 12 in. tall with similar spread
Blooms in late spring to midsummer
Attracts bees, butterflies and hummingbirds
Deer tend to avoid

Purple Bee Balm offers everything gardeners love about monarda-but in a shorter, more compact package. Growing 12 inches tall with a similar spread, this sun-loving perennial features bold purple flowers from late spring to midsummer. The nectar-rich blossoms invite bees, butterflies and hummingbirds to the garden. A clump-forming perennial, monarda is related to the mint family, and the foliage emits a minty scent when crushed. For a big impact, plant Purple Bee Balm in masses. Its size also makes it ideal for container planting. Grows best in full sun to partial shade. Deer tend to avoid. Zones 4-9.
