Monarda didyma Fireball

Fireball Beebalm

A variety characterized by its bright red ball-shaped flowers that emerge in summer and attract many pollinators, including bees and butterflies. Compact, it is ideal for borders or clumps, bringing color and dynamism to the garden. It benefits from regular watering to maintain healthy growth. Its aromatic, slightly minty foliage brings texture and a note of freshness to the space. After flowering, light pruning helps maintain a neat shape and stimulate growth for the following year. Hardy, it tolerates cold winters well, but mulching around the roots may be recommended for colder regions.
