Monarda 'On Parade'

A summer flowering cottage garden/herby perennial with very distinctive flowers that are an absolute magnet for pollinators. Monarda also goes by the more common name Bergamot or Bee Balm. 

- From late June until September, very vibrant, attractive bright magenta-pink flowers are produced. The tubular flowers look very decorative, occurring in dense clusters which surround a dark centre and emerge from dark maroon-red bracts. Flowers continuously if regularly deadheaded. 

- Its deep green foliage forms a lush clump beneath the flowers, and is very pleasantly aromatic, sometimes picked for pot-pourri. It is also edible and can be used to flavour drinks or garnish food. 

- Best grown in a sunny, sheltered spot, it is a fantastic, eye-catching addition to cottage gardens, wildlife gardens, sensory and prairie-style gardens, in mixed borders and raised beds, coastal gardens, and also makes for a very good cut flower. 

- Highly attractive to a wide range of pollinator species, including honey bees, hoverflies, bumblebees and butterflies. 

- Height and Spread approx. 60-90cm x 40-60cm. 

- Supplied in a 9cm pot
