Description
Eastern beebalm (Monarda bradburiana) flowers in late spring (mid- to late May here in southeastern PA): earlier in the growing season than most beebalm species. The aromatic foliage has a purplish cast in spring, on stems that start out upright, then nod gracefully as the flower buds form. They eventually straighten up again, to a height of about 2 feet, as the flowers open in shades of pink on rounded heads surrounded by a ruff of pink to purple-blushed bracts. Native to parts of the central and southern US. Full sun to light shade. Perennial; Zones 4 or 5 to 9.
Harvested in July 2021. At least 20 seeds.
