Description
Common name: Bee Balm
Electric Neon Series
Varieties in the Electric Neon Series are just that, Electric! When you look at the fabulous color of this interspecific hybrid of Bee Balm you may find it to be the brightest pink Monarda you have seen. Intense, dark neon pink flowers are produced above an upright mound of glossy, dark green foliage. The large, 3″ flowers practically glow, lightening slightly for a two tone effect.
Monarda is native to eastern North America, so it is easy to grow and it multiplies quickly. The flowers’ sweet nectar attracts scores of hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees to the garden. The aromatic foliage smells like mint,citrus when crushed and is often used to flavor
