Notes

'Croftway Pink' spotted beebalm (Monarda 'Croftway Pink') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and rain gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Its fragrant, clear rose pink flowers draw butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. It grows 30 to 36 inches tall and 12 to 24 inches wide.

Pairs well with Joe Pye weed, Culver’s root, and Sweet pepperbush.
