Bee Balm (also called Monarda) plants are known for their unique shape, with clusters of tubular flowers and a large seed head that hummingbirds and songbirds love. This variety, Balmy Lilac, has lighter pink flowers and grows to be between 2-4 feet tall and can spread up to 3 feet wide. They attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies and make for a lovely cut flower for summer bouquets.

Bee Balm prefers full sun to partial shade; moist, well-drained, loamy soil; and benefit from deadheading to promote blossom. Be sure to water consistently but do not overwater. This plant makes a great container addition but roots must be protected for it to survive freezing temperatures. A hardy perennial in zones 3 and warmer, this plant is part of the mint family and will spread aggressively if left unchecked.
