Monarda - Beebalm 'Raspberry Wine' is clump-forming perennial with purplish-red flowers. Tall cultivar and also the 5th best one for hummingbirds. This nativar doesn't suffer from powdery mildew and is highly recommended by Mt. Cuba center.
Most hybrids won't attract as many pollinators and butterflies, but you can still expect some visitors.
Aromatic, minty scented leaves (can be used for teas), good cut flower. You can prolong blooming period by dead-heading.
Nice perennial for borders, cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, hummingbird gardens, rain garden, plantings along stream banks or for naturalizing.
Good perennial combinations include Asters, Baptisia, Echinacea, Eupatorium, Liatris, Penstemon digitalis,Penstemon smallii, Ratibida pinnata, Phlox paniculata, Solidago, Veronicastrum, grasses etc.
The genus name, Monarda, is an honorary for Spanish botanist Nicholas Monardes (1493-1588) who published a book in several editions on medicinal plants of the new world. Native American used this plant for skin eruptions, to cure cold and fever.
