This exceptional Bee Balm variety, part of the Sugar Buzz® series, is truly a cut above for its dazzling color and robust performance. From early to late summer, its striking flowers erupt in a delightful display, creating a captivating focal point in any landscape. More than just a pretty face, 'Bubblegum Blast' is a magnet for beneficial wildlife. Bees, butterflies, and even hummingbirds will flock to its nectar-rich blossoms, transforming your garden into a buzzing, vibrant ecosystem. Its upright, clumping habit makes it ideal for borders, cottage gardens, or mass plantings, adding both vertical interest and a burst of color. Developed for superior disease resistance, 'Bubblegum Blast' boasts excellent powdery mildew resistance, a common issue with traditional Monarda. This means healthier foliage and more blooms for you to enjoy throughout the season, making it a reliable and rewarding choice for gardeners of all levels.

Care & maintenance

Easy to care for, 'Bubblegum Blast' thrives in well-drained soil. Divide clumps every 2-3 years in spring to maintain vigor. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage a longer bloom period.
