A pollinator powerhouse wrapped in deep purple blooms, ‘Marje Purple’ Bee Balm is a compact, mildew-resistant Monarda that stays lush, vibrant, and full of life all summer long. Its crown-shaped, rich purple flower clusters bloom from mid to late summer, drawing in hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees while its deer- and rabbit-resistant foliage remains untouched. At just 12-15 inches tall and 30-38 inches wide, this variety is perfect for borders, containers, and smaller garden spaces. With strong stems and long-lasting color, it also makes an excellent cut flower. Easy to grow, fuss-free, and high-impact—this bee balm is a garden must-have!
