Monarda Plants (Bee Balm Plants)

     Monarda is a small genus consisting of only fifteen species, but offers many different cultivars of these species.  These plants are found in dry scrub, prairies, and woodlands in North America.  The square stems bear toothed to solid leaves that are normally aromatic, especially when brushed.  In summer, tubular flowers are produced in colors ranging from white to violet.  Flowers are borne in a circular fashion around the square stems.  Our Monarda plant offerings are hardy perennials that offer excellent garden performance.
