Monarda is a genus of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It includes about 16 species of aromatic annuals and perennials native to North America. The common name, Bee Balm or Bergamot, refers to the attractive flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The genus is named after the 16th century Spanish botanist Nicolas Monardes.
The most common species of Monarda is Monarda didyma, a hardy perennial that grows to a height of up to 3 feet (1 meter). Its leaves are dark green and lance-shaped, and the flowers are deep pink to purple, with a white center. It blooms in the late summer and fall, and its flowers are very attractive to pollinators.
Monarda is a drought-tolerant plant, and it prefers dry, well-drained soils. It is also tolerant of a wide range of soil pH levels. It is not tolerant of wet soils, and it can become stressed in high humidity. Monarda can be propagated from seed, cuttings, or division.
Monarda is an excellent choice for a garden border or a native plant garden. It can also be used as an edging plant for pathways and walkways. The fragrant foliage is also a great addition to flower arrangements.
Monarda is easy to care for and maintain. It does best in full sun and requires regular watering. It should be fertilized every two weeks with a balanced fertilizer. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage re-blooming. Monarda is also susceptible to powdery mildew, so it should be monitored for signs of disease.
