Monarda Balmy Lilac Bee Balm

Monarda ‘Balbalmac’ Balmy Lilac Bee Balm, a striking perennial, blooms from late spring through summer. Known for its early and bountiful blossoms, this native plant boasts vibrant pink-lilac flowers that form into distinctive, shaggy globes. Perched atop slender, square stems, these vivid, nectar-rich blooms draw in bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, and make a delightful addition to any vase or floral arrangement.

As a variety of the Monarda didyma, commonly known as bee balm or bergamot, the ‘Balbalmac’ Balmy Lilac is an herbaceous plant that forms a compact clump of lance-shaped leaves, which release a captivating minty, sage-like aroma when crushed or bruised. This moderately vigorous plant is rhizomatous and self-seeding, gradually forming colonies over time. While its beauty stands out when mass planted in borders and beds, it also makes a charming addition to a container garden.
