Description
A studied gaze at the elegant flower stalks reveals many that have one full-sized ruby-red blossom growing on top of a second. We think this tandem presentation creates the most beautiful of bee balms. Blooms emit a delicate perfume that is accompanied by a sweet mint fragrance from the leaves. The combination of heady scents and vivid color of the blossoms has proven to be irresistible to hummingbirds and butterflies. A workhorse in our garden where it reblooms well into fall and shows no signs of the typical powdery mildew problems.
