I have been completely smitten by my garden and admire all efforts to create a little piece of Eden in other garden spaces. It truly has a positive impact on people .. even if it is only for a few moments at a time. My little garden is in zone 5b but most gardeners experiment with plants that may just make it from a higher zone .. a micro-climate can some times cushion a tender plant. I am a plant 'collector" I have more of a plant zoo than a designed garden. : )

Almost every time I have read a description of Bee Balm/Monarda .. the term "shaggy heads" is incorporated .. I have to say it suits them to a tee.
This paricular one is supposed to be more resistant to powdery mildew .. I really hope so because that was one reason why I didn't replenish it a few years ago when it faded out .. or should I say .. was PULLED out from annoyance of that wicked mildew problem ! haha
Fingers crossed this one will prevail !
