This charming native perennial has unique clusters of delicate pink to light lavender flowers adorned with purple tracking. Blooming earlier than many other Monarda species, it provides a valuable nectar source for pollinators in late spring instead of the usual summer bloom time. Its fragrant and nectar-filled flowers also host over 10 species of native butterflies and moths, including the Dufourea monardae sweat bee. This adaptable perennial thrives in average to dry, well-drained soils and prefers full sun to part shade. While it can tolerate some drought, good air circulation is essential to minimize the risk of powdery mildew. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVital Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant size: \u003c\/strong\u003e1-2’ tall x 1-2’ wide \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sun (6+ hours sun) to part-sun (4-6 hours sun) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater: \u003c\/strong\u003eAverage water needs.
