Monarda Bee-True - Marginal Pond Plants - BP085

Monarda ‘Bee-True’, commonly known as bee balm, is a clump-forming perennial with aromatic, toothed green leaves forming a bushy mound. In mid to late summer, it produces dense, tubular flowers in vibrant magenta-red shades, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds for a showy and pollinator-friendly display in borders or cottage gardens.

The flowers provide significant ecological value, supporting pollinators and beneficial insects. Its upright, moisture-loving habit makes it ideal for sunny, damp borders, wildflower gardens, or naturalistic plantings where summer colour and pollinator activity are desired.
