Monarda bradburiana

Dense green foliage crowned with fragrant, rose-pink spiky flowers bloom in summer, the petals adorned with dark spotted patterns.

Bradbury's Bee Balm. A great, unusual prairie plant, this Monarda is shorter and more compact than the usual. Sun or shade conditions and average soil, but not waterlogged in winter. Wonderful minty/oregeno smell. Good for pollinating insects. 80cm, summer flowering. Resistant to mildew. Only a few.
