Description
These are live plants! Monarda Didyma ‘Red Shades,’ known as bee balm, displays brilliant red, fragrant flower clusters which bloom profusely against green foliage. As the common name indicates, Bee Balm will attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, promoting sustainability in your garden. They also make for excellent cut flowers in arrangements. Blooms from early Summer to early Fall. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage continuous bloom. See below for water, soil type and sun/shade recommendations.
Our plants are grown in 4.5″ pots, and ship with robust roots and foliage, ready to go right in the ground when they arrive. Each plant is professionally packaged to ensure safe transport and stay moist during transit.
