Bee Balm: Lemon (Monarda citriodora)
$1.00 - $5.60
With a delightful lemon scent and lavender flowers, this wildflower is a favorite of butterflies and hummingbirds. Stiff, square stems support the tubular and fragrant flowers, and all parts of the plant have a distinct lemony scent when crushed or bruised. Some Monarda species are commonly called bee-balm in reference to a prior use of the leaves as a salve for bee stings. Effective in hummingbird, butterfly, cottage and herb gardens, as well as in native plant areas and prairies. A lovely plant all around!
Bee Balm: Spotted (Monarda punctata)
$1.00 - $5.60
This easy-to-grow wildflower is loved by butterflies! Small, pale yellow flowers are spotted with purple, and rest above colorful palettes of soft pink leaves. As you brush against this plant, the leaves release a wonderful oregano fragrance. This flower also makes a great addition to dried arrangements!
