Bee Balm ‘Balmy Purple’ Excellent

Native Monardas tend to be a bit rangy in their growth habit, but Bee Balm ‘Balmy Purple’ (Monarda didyma Balmy Purple) changes all that with a compact, tidy growth habit. The absolutely magnificent purple flowers are carried in large, showy heads that will attract birds, butterflies – and you. Those flowers look good enough to eat, and they are, in fact, edible, so go ahead! Whereas old-style Bee Balms were prone to mildew, that problem has been overcome, so you’ll enjoy low-maintenance gardening and magnificent blooms.
