Monardas

Any one grow the Monarda perennial,visited the rhs gardens at Rosemore recently and they had some there and the bees absolutely smothered them,one in particular the "prairie night" unfortunately they never had that particular one for sale,just wondered if any one grows them? successfully or not.

Re: Monardas

This is a new plant to me so I had help from Mr Google to find it.

It looks lovely and I wouldn't mind growing it myself, especially as it attracts the bees. I hope you locate the one you are looking for, Caricature
