About this plant
Part of the compact Sugar Buzz series, 'Blue Moon' Bee Balm is a vigorous performer, producing an abundance of shaggy, violet-blue flower clusters from mid to late summer. Its unique, irregular petals give it a wonderfully wild and ethereal appearance, attracting a flurry of beneficial insects to your landscape. The aromatic foliage adds another layer of sensory appeal, releasing a minty fragrance when brushed or crushed. Ideal for borders, cottage gardens, or pollinator plantings, this cultivar boasts excellent resistance to powdery mildew, a common issue with traditional Bee Balm varieties. Its tidy, upright habit ensures it remains a well-behaved and beautiful addition to your garden throughout its blooming season. At A Cut Above, we select only the finest specimens to enhance your outdoor living space. 'Blue Moon' Monarda is a testament to quality, promising a season of breathtaking blooms and a thriving ecosystem, making it a truly exceptional choice.
