Bee Balm Lambada Seed
Monarda lambada
Item #1085
Tender Perennial. Bee balm, also known as Monarda,
is covered with unique, lovely
lavender-pink flower clusters that
attract butterflies, hummingbirds
and bees to the garden. We chose
this variety because it is more
tolerant to powdery mildew and dry
soil conditions than other varieties
of bee balm. Lambada is a tender
perennial, and may not overwinter
in all areas. Plants bloom quickly so
it can be grown as an annual for a
splash of summer and fall color.
Pretty in a mixed bouquet of cut
flowers and in wildflower gardens.
Deer resistant.
