$10.00
Preview

(Monarda punctata) 4 inch pot

A wildly charming Monarda with minty-oregano–scented foliage and delightfully eccentric blooms. Creamy yellow, purple-spotted tubular flowers stack in playful whorls along tall stems, framed by oversized, purple-tinged bracts giving the plant an elegant, slightly Dr. Seuss–inspired presence in the garden. Beloved by bees and butterflies and more tolerant of heat and drought than most Monarda, this beauty is perfectly suited to Mediterranean gardens. We love this plant so much and are so excited to offer it this year!
