This compact Monarda produces vivid red, pom-pom style flowers that sit neatly above aromatic green foliage throughout summer. It offers all the colour and pollinator value of traditional beebalm, but in a much shorter, tidier form. Ideal for smaller gardens and the front to middle of borders, it adds strong colour without overwhelming nearby plants.

Quick Facts

• Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade
• Soil: Moist but well drained soil
• Flowering time: June to August
• Height and spread: Around 40–50cm tall and wide
• Hardiness: Fully hardy perennial
• Wildlife: Very attractive to bees and pollinators

This perennial is herbaceous, it dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring. Depending on the time of year you order, the plant may arrive looking different to our photos. Please plant as normal.
