Description
In midsummer, ‘Grape Gumball’ forms a solid dome of vibrant magenta, 2-2ยฝโ flowers on strong, well-branched stems. The dark green foliage forms an upright clump that will fill out containers nicely but wonโt run all over the garden. It displays above average resistance to powdery mildew.
Monarda is native to eastern North America, so it is easy to grow and it multiplies quickly. The flowers’ sweet nectar attracts scores of hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees to the garden. The aromatic foliage smells like mint when crushed and is often used to flavor teas.
