Notes

'Cherry Pops' spotted beebalm (Monarda 'Cherry Pops') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and containers. 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 bring butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds to your garden. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and blooms in early to late summer. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.

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