Monarda didyma Balmy Purple - Bee Balm
Availability: In stock
Monarda didyma ‘Balmy Purple’ is a compact, clump-forming perennial that delivers a long-lasting burst of colourful magenta-purple flower heads through mid to late summer. The shaggy, tufted blooms sit above aromatic, deep green foliage. They are rich in nectar, making this bee balm a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators while adding bold colour and movement to the garden.
Thriving in full sun to light partial shade, it prefers reliably moist, well-drained soil and is well-suited to borders, wildlife gardens, and informal planting schemes. Its tidy habit makes it ideal for the front or middle of mixed borders, where it brings structure without overwhelming neighbouring plants. For harmonious combinations, pair it with Agastache ‘Beelicious Purple’,  Achillea millefolium ‘Milly Rock Red’, orÂ
Coreopsis grandiflora 'Solar Jewel', which complements its tones and upright form wonderfully.
Supplied in approx 2-3 litre containers.Â
