Monarda 'Jacob Cline' - BEEBALM 'JACOB CLINE'
Monarda - Beebalm 'Jacob Cline' - very good red cultivar, robust and tall (4' 2"), vigorous and healthy, with significantly lighter green leaves and also a bit earlier flowering - starting mid June and flowering for 3 weeks. And one of the best for hummingbirds!
Aromatic, minty scented leaves (can be used for teas), good cut flower. Clump perennial. 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.

Great plants!
I am so impressed with the quality of the plants (size, health) and packaging from U.S. Perennials that I've ordered twice since my original order. All the plants are thriving. I've ordered from other live plant vendors and U.S. Perennials has the quality of plants that beats them all.
