Notes

'Pink Lace' spotted beebalm (Monarda didyma 'Pink Lace') 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. The pink flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. It forms a tidy clump that grows 12 to 18 inches tall and wide. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.

Pairs well with Joe Pye weed, Big bluestem, and Blue-eyed grass.
