Monarda punctata (Spotted Horsemint) Seed
Description
Monarda punctata, known as spotted bee balm, is a native perennial found in prairies, meadows, and open fields across North America. It typically grows 1–3 feet tall and has distinctive, spotted bracts beneath its pink to purple tubular flowers that bloom from mid-summer to fall. This plant prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soils.
Spotted bee balm is an excellent addition to pollinator gardens and natural landscapes due to its attraction to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. It also provides nectar for hummingbirds and is highly adaptable to various soil types. Its unique appearance, including its striking bracts, adds visual interest and texture to gardens and restoration projects.
