Comments
Couldn’t figure out when to cut, never seemed to look good enough to cut. Don’t think the fertility was what it needed to be where it was planted; Being a hardy perennial, I’m hoping next year will be more promising for this plant. I’ve grown ‘Bee Balm’ in the past & hope this perennial will produce many useable stems for mixed bouquets next year; Will leave in ground for next year’s flower; I will definitely attempt to buy seed for this to see if it measured up to the Monarda ‘Lambada’ that has many cuts, is scented, & holds up very well in bouquets.; Hope this will winter; Was just starting to flower in mid-October; Similar to Monarda ‘Jacob Cline’ an excellent red from cuttings.
