Description
Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa), also widely known as Bee Balm, is a magnificent native North American perennial famous for its fragrant, lilac-purple blossoms and aromatic foliage. Emitting a lovely lavender-mint perfume, its leaves were historically brewed into soothing herbal teas. Exceptionally valuable to wildlife, its unique crown-like flowers bloom for weeks in mid-to-late summer, acting as a powerful magnet for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and beneficial garden pollinators.
