Bee Balm 'Bee-You Bee Merry'
Monarda 'Bee-You Be Merry'
1 gallon pot
 
A compact and vibrant bee balm, Bee-You Be Merry produces abundant rosy-pink to magenta flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds throughout the summer. The shaggy, tufted blooms sit above aromatic green foliage, creating a colorful display that adds energy and pollinator activity to the garden. Its dense, mounded habit makes it especially useful for smaller spaces and containers.
 
This variety thrives in full sun to part sun and performs best in well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Part of the Bee-You series, it was bred for improved disease resistance and a more compact, tidy habit compared to older bee balms. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage additional blooming and keep the plant looking fresh.
