If youre looking to invite natures favorite pollinators to your garden party, the Bee Mine Pink Bee Balm (Monarda) is your guest of honor. This perennial is a powerhouse of color, producing shaggy, vivid pink blooms that act like a neon sign for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Growing into a tidy, upright clump about 18 inches tall and wide, its the perfect size for middle-of-the-border planting where it wont overwhelm its neighbors. To see those blossoms really pop, plant it in a spot that gets full sunat least six hours of direct lightthough it appreciates a little afternoon shade in our hotter mountain climates. The “earthy wisdom” secret here is its fragrant, minty foliage; while we love the scent, deer and rabbits find it quite distasteful, making it a rugged choice for open landscapes. Its a hardy, disease-resistant beauty that proves you can have a lush, buzzing garden without the constant worry of local critters stopping by for a snack.
