Rockin' Raspberry Bee Balm is true to its name, with its flashy raspberry purple bee balm flowers on strong, well-branched stems to 20 inches. Both the flowers and the foliage are aromatic and edible. Leaves are a very dark green, which is the perfect backdrop for the colourful flowers. Monarda 'Rockin' Raspberry' is a hardy, vigorous plant. It delights with its long blooming period, and its attraction of hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees to the garden.
This purple bee balm will grow in full to part sun. While a very mildew resistant Monarda, make sure it has plenty of airflow, as this will help fight disease.
Rockin' Raspberry Bee Balm is equally at home in a border, or an edible or medicinal garden. Mass for a wonderful impact. Great in a small garden, and adds charm and fragrance to container plantings. Cut for gorgeous fresh bouquets.
