The tubular flowers are arranged in dense, spherical clusters and come in various shades, including red, pink, and purple. The vibrant blooms attract pollinators, especially bees and hummingbirds.
- Aromatic Foliage: Bee Balm has aromatic foliage with a minty fragrance. The lance-shaped leaves are often used in herbal teas and for their aromatic qualities.
- Long Blooming Period: Monarda didyma has a long blooming period, typically from late spring through mid-summer. This extended flowering season adds considerable ornamental value to the garden.
- Attracts Pollinators: Bee Balm is known for its high attractiveness to pollinators, making it a valuable addition to pollinator-friendly gardens. The nectar-rich flowers are particularly favored by bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
- Culinary and Medicinal Uses: The leaves of Bee Balm can be used in herbal teas, providing a minty flavor. Additionally, some Native American tribes historically used parts of the plant for medicinal purposes.
- Tolerant of Moist Soils: While Bee Balm can adapt to various soil types, it thrives in moist, well-drained soils. This makes it suitable for rain gardens or areas with consistent moisture.

Care Instructions
Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
