'Leading Lady Pink' Bee Balm

Monarda hybrid

While Bee Balm usually blooms in July, 'Leading Lady Pink' flowers earlier in the summer and forms a more compact cluster than other varieties. This cultivar grows to about a foot in height and blooms from early summer (the first week of June in Michigan) until midsummer. 'Leading Lady Pink' yields vividly colored flowers that accentuate the dots on their petals, with lighter interiors.
