Monarda didyma 'Lilac Lollipop' (Bee Balm)

Monarda didyma ‘Lilac Lollipop’ (SUGAR BUZZ® Series) (Bee Balm)

Monarda didyma ‘Lilac Lollipop’ enchants with midsummer blooms forming a solid dome of lavender-lilac, 2–2½" flowers atop strong, well-branched stems. Its dark green foliage forms a tidy, upright clump that fills containers beautifully without spreading aggressively in the garden.

This native eastern North American perennial is easy to grow, multiplies quickly, and shows above-average resistance to powdery mildew. The aromatic, mint-scented foliage can be used to flavor teas, while nectar-rich flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, making it perfect for pollinator gardens, borders, and container plantings.
