Monarda didyma Coral Reef


Beebalm

 USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.365.290


(= ‘ACreef') Beebalm is a traditional favourite for the perennial border. This Canadian selection produces heads of large, shaggy deep-pink flowers in mid to late summer. Foliage is delightfully fragrant, and significantly more resistant to powdery mildew than most older varieties. Excellent for cutting. Similar in colour to ‘Marshall’s Delight’ but on a shorter plant. Introduced by Agriculture Canada from its breeding program in Morden, Manitoba. USPP#16741: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
