Monarda didyma 'Marshall's Delight' (Bee Balm)

Bee balm ‘Marshall’s Delight’ is a standout for gardeners who want color, pollinators, and reliability all in one plant. Native to North America, this variety produces long, tubular rosy pink flowers that hummingbirds and bees flock to all summer long.  One of the best things about ‘Marshall’s Delight’ is its strong resistance to powdery mildew, a common problem with bee balm. That means healthier foliage, better airflow, and a nicer-looking plant even late in the season. It blooms for two months or more, and with regular deadheading, it just keeps going—bringing steady color and life to borders, pollinator gardens, and cottage-style beds. BEST USES Pollinator and hummingbird gardens Cottage and perennial borders Native and naturalistic plantings Rain gardens and moist areas GROWING NOTES Plant type: Herbaceous perennial Growth habit: Upright, spreading Sun: Full sun to partial shade Soil: Evenly moist, well-drained soil Water: Moderate; prefers consistent moisture Hardines
