No need for pollinators to stop for directions. Like a glowing beacon, these large 3” fluorescent pink flowers guide them right to a nectar-laden snack. As they age, flowers will lighten to softer pink creating a two-tone effect.
Electrifying is a great way to describe Monarda Electric Neon Pink – it positively glows! Foliage will release a spicy fragrance when crushed and can be used to make herbal tea. Bee Balm is a carefree strong-growing perennial. Deer tend to leave Bee Balm alone.
