Monarda fistulosa

from $8.50
Coming Soon

Monarda fistulosa | wild bergamot

Aromatic grayish-green foliage and large lavender flowers make Monarda fistulosa an extremely popular garden plant. Typically unbothered by deer and rabbits, bee balm offers high pollinator support and is fairly adaptable to a range of soil types. This clump-forming native perennial will reach 3-4’ tall. It is often used towards the back of perennial beds because the late-season foliage can look a little tattered, but it is perhaps better appreciated in a meadow garden where the flowers are the only focus.
