MONARDA d. ‘Balbalmac’. PP26594 – Balmyâ„¢ Series. 10-12″ tall, 8-10″ spread, part-full sun, late spring-early summer bloom. Shaggy lilac purple flowers bloom in abundance atop dark green foliage. When crushed the leaves have a minty-basil fragrance. Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds & is bee friendly. Deer, rabbit & mildew resistant. Zones 4-9. Potted in 3″ pot.

Monarda can be found naturally along riverbanks and enjoys this rich, organic, moist soil. However, it will grow in average soil as well. Full sun is best, but light shade is tolerated. Plants tend to spread more quickly in the shade, however.
Most monardas multiply rapidly either by underground stems or self-sowing. Deadheading spent blooms will prolong the bloom time.

Powdery mildew is a common fungal problem with monarda. Some varieties are more resistant to it than others. To prevent this fungus from appearing, large clumps should be thinned out so that the air circulates freely around them. The soil should also be kept consistently moist; dry soil promotes powdery mildew.
