Monarda 'Petite Delight', also known as Monarda didyma or Beebalm, is a clump-forming perennial that has tubular, two-lipped, light red to purple flowers with dark green aromatic foliage. 'Petite Delight' stands at 15' high and has a plant spread of 12-18" and blooms from July to August. It is one of the smallest Monarda in its family and has the darkest foliage. If deadheaded, longer bloom times will be encouraged. Monarda needs to be planted in full sun, but will tolerate afternoon shade. Best grown in rich soil in a well-drained area, not being allowed to dry out. The leaves of Monarda can be used for teas and in salads. Attracting hummingbirds, butterflies and bees, particularly when massed, Monarda provides color and contrast for the perennial border, wild garden, meadow, and herb garden or along ponds or streams.
