Product Details
Monarda didyma ‘Coral Reef’ is a hot-pink number with the added touch of coral overtones to the blooms. This tough and aromatic plant is great for attracting hummingbirds and butterflies, and it’s mildew resistant, too. PP 16,741
This North American genus has 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).
