BeeMine Red Bee Balm

Turn up the heat with ‘BeeMine Red’ Bee Balm, a compact, high-impact perennial that doesn’t hold back. Bursting with bold, scarlet-red blooms from late spring through summer, this fiery Monarda is an absolute magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. And while pollinators can’t get enough, deer and rabbits want nothing to do with it. The deep green, fragrant foliage stays fresh and mildew-free, meaning no ugly powdery mess—just clean, lush growth all season long. At just 15-18 inches tall and 14-16 inches wide, it’s the perfect size for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens where it delivers maximum color with minimum effort.
