Wild Basil Balm is unique in the genus Monarda - this one is a native woodland plant and prefers to grow in shade! It will also tolerate drier shade under trees. The white flowers (typical for bee balm) bloom from mid- to late summer, and attract more bumblebees than butterflies or other bees. This plant also attracts hummingbirds!

Healthy plants and great customer service!
These white monarda were very hard to find. All mail order plants are smaller than a garden center but that's how you get special plants. USPerennials has great prices, great customer service and fast delivery. Questions were answered promptly by Rad via e-mail. I'd definitely buy from them again.

monarda clinopodia
I purchased this locally in July, when we were experiencing drought and daily temperatures in the 90s. This and the other plants I bought were in great condition when I took them home, and are all doing well now after making it through the severe weather. I asked my husband to plant this one for me, and he forgot for about a week, then finally planted it in the wrong place (so we had to move it). Survived that just fine.
