Monarda didyma 'Jacob Kline'

Jacob Kline beebalm

Monarda is hardy, eye-catching summer bloomer that serves as a great nectar source for hummingbirds and butterflies. 'Jacob Cline' is a bright red selection found growing wild in Virginia and since prized for its bloom and resistance to powdery mildew. As a member of the mint family, this plant can be counted on to thrive, sometimes to the point of aggression, when planted in sunny, moist, well-drained soils.
