Eastern Bee Balm (Monarda bradburiana)
A Soft-Spoken Stunner with Pollinator Power
Eastern Bee Balm brings a graceful presence to the garden with its pale pink to lavender blooms, clump-forming habit, and softly fragrant foliage. More compact and better-behaved than some of its taller cousins, this native perennial offers a refined look while still delivering big on ecological benefits.
Blooming in late spring to early summer, Monarda bradburiana provides critical early-season nectar for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Its tolerance to drought, deer, and mildew makes it an easy and dependable choice for borders, native plantings, and prairie-style gardens alike.
