Notes
'Pink Frosting' spotted beebalm (Monarda didyma 'Pink Frosting') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, cottage 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, clay soil. Pink flowers open in early to late summer, and butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the fragrant blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The clumping plant grows 18 to 24 inches tall.
Pairs well with Culver’s root, False indigo, and Big bluestem.
