'Pardon My Cerise' spotted beebalm (Monarda 'Pardon My Cerise') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator 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 moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The fragrant cerise flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
