Perennials Summer blooms |
Beebalm (monarda) is a summer-flowering plant from North America. There are about 15 species including both perennials and annuals, all of which come mostly from open and dry places like prairies. It belongs to the longest flowering plants of summer and its aromatic leaves would be used as a cheap substitute of bergamot for famous Earl Grey tea. We specialize solely in perennial monardas, mostly monarda didyma and monarda fistulosa and their hybrids.
BALMY™ ROSE is a beebalm from the BALMY™ series developed by Scott Trees for Ball Horticultural Company in the USA in 2012. It makes compact tufts with strong, upright stems holding vibrant pink flowers from late June until midsummer. Deciduous leaves are widely lance-shaped, deep green, and slightly undulated. Flowers are edible and fragrant leaves can be used in tea and other cold drinks. Patent no. PP26567 was issued in 2016.
Monarda grows reliably in almost any well-drained, medium fertile soil, preferably in full sun. If forms dense clumps, and remains healthy unless overwatered – then foliage may be prone to powdery mildew. Hardiness guaranteed to min. -29°C (USDA zone 5), however as all other monardas this variety might possibly survive down to -34°C.
