Monarda Fistulosa 'Claire Grace'

A selection of our native Wild Bergamot, 'Claire Grace' was discovered in hot and humid Mississippi, where its improved mildew resistance stood out. The soft lavender blooms have a refined, almost translucent quality. A must for your pollinator garden.

Monarda is a North American genus with several species, all of which share tartly fragrant foliage and the square stems that typify members of the Mint family. The late-summer flower heads are hemispheres of tubular blooms in brilliant colors. Plants thrive in full sun or partial shade and evenly moist soil (which helps avoid mildew). Under these conditions, they are vigorous to the point of invasiveness, perhaps past it.
