The tubular-petaled, hummingbird-attracting flowers of this Monarda are a distinctively-tiered pink over striking purple bracts on this RHS Award of Garden Merit winner. Combined with aromatic (somewhat lemon-spicy) foliage that is uniquely tinged purple, it's a new twist on what is already an attractive and popular perennial in its standard form. Prefers moist soils and full sun but tolerates average conditions and a few hours of shade. Works well with other summer blooming meadow perennials. Although it can spread quickly where conditions are ideal, renegade surface-rooting succulent stems are easily removed.
