Notes

'Bubblegum Blast' spotted beebalm (Monarda 'Bubblegum Blast') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The fragrant flowers open in early to late summer and draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.

Pairs well with Fascination culver’s root, Lamb’s ear, Waltraut sneezeweed, and Russian sage.
