Description
Monarda ‘Bee Happy’, also known as Bee Balm, is a compact and vibrant perennial that brings a cheerful burst of colour to any garden. With its striking, shaggy blooms in rich crimson-red shades, it’s a favourite for pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it an excellent addition to wildlife-friendly planting schemes. This variety is not only visually appealing but also delivers reliable performance in temperate climates, making it a standout choice for gardens.
Growing to a height of 30–50 cm, Monarda ‘Bee Happy’ forms a dense, bushy clump of aromatic, deep green foliage that releases a refreshing citrus-mint fragrance when touched. Its long flowering season, which spans from mid to late summer, ensures that this variety remains a vibrant focal point in the garden throughout the warmer months. Unlike many other Monarda varieties, ‘Bee Happy’ has a strong resistance to mildew, making it particularly hardy and reliable.
Perfect for mixed borders, cottage gardens, or as part of a pollinator-friendly scheme, ‘Bee Happy’ also thrives in containers, making it an ideal choice for smaller gardens. Its compact size and vibrant flowers pair beautifully with other summer bloomers such as Echinacea, Rudbeckia, and Salvias, adding colour and life to your garden.
