Monarda didyma Jacob Cline

Bee Balm

Large, brilliant red bracts surround red flowers giving them a spider look. A long-time favorite, this one has fragrant, mildew resistant foliage. Still one of the best, it is much more attractive in the garden than in the container. Attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Deer resistant. Native. Striking!
