Description of Monarda didyma 'Bee-True'

Monarda didyma 'Bee-True' is a bee balm grown for bright summer flowers and scented foliage. It suits the moist upper edge of bog gardens rather than the saturated centre.

It forms upright stems with aromatic leaves and produces showy red-toned flowers in summer. Height is often 60 to 90cm.

Care Guide

  • Sun: Full sun to part shade.
