Overall Description
Bee balm (Monarda didyma) is a perennial herb in the mint family (Lamiaceae), growing 100–120 cm tall with erect stems and fragrant leaves. Its verticillasters form dense flower heads (capitula) up to 6 cm in diameter, featuring tubular, pale purplish-red corollas. Blooming from June to September, this cold-hardy plant prefers cool, moist, and sunny conditions, tolerates partial shade, and is undemanding in soil. It grows most vigorously in moist, semi-shaded thickets and woodlands.

Why Choose This Variety?
Monarda didyma offers a rare combination of fragrance, showy pale purplish-red blooms, and remarkable adaptability. Unlike many perennials, it thrives in cooler, moisture-retentive conditions and tolerates partial shade, making it ideal for woodland edges, semi-shaded borders, and moist thickets. Its undemanding nature and cold hardiness reduce maintenance efforts, while its extended summer flowering period ensures long-lasting garden interest. Choose this bee balm for a resilient, aromatic, and visually striking addition to your garden.
