The Scarlet Bee Balm, (Monarda Didyma), is a striking perennial plant that is perfect for attracting pollinators to your garden. Also known as Oswego Tea, this plant gained its nickname from the Native American Oswego tribe who used the leaves to brew a tea that was similar to the one made from the true tea plant (Camellia sinensis). This vibrant plant serves as a host to attract bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies, making it a wonderful addition to any pollinator garden. Scarlet Bee Balm can grow up to 36 inches tall and spread up to 24 inches wide, making it a dazzling focal point in any garden. This plant prefers full sun to partial shade with moist, well-drained soil, and is resistant to both deer and rabbits, making it a low-maintenance option that adds both color and ecological benefit to your landscape.
