Description: Also called Bradbury's Bee Balm, this Monarda is shorter and more compact than the popular classic prairie plant, bergamot (Monarda fistulosa). Eastern bee balm is an excellent choice for home landscaping, tolerating sun and shade conditions and average garden soil. Like all Bee Balm species, it has a wonderful minty/oregeno smell, is deer resistant, and will attract many pollinating insects. This plant is introduced to northern Illinois from southern Illinois.
