Notes
'Pardon My Pink' spotted beebalm (Monarda didyma 'Pardon My Pink') is a perennial for borders, containers, 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 wet, loamy or clay soil. Fragrant fuchsia pink flowers open in early to late summer and draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It forms a tidy clump that stays 9 to 12 inches tall and wide. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Cardinal flower, Blue wild indigo, and Big bluestem.
