Monarda didyma ‘Coral Reef’
Monarda 'Coral Reef' is a beebalm with hot pink clusters of tubular flowers and fragrant foliage.
‘Coral Reef’ grows to mid height and has hot pink flowers and good mildew resistance. Monarda is native to eastern North America, is easy to grow and multiplies quickly. The flowers’ sweet nectar attracts scores of hummingbirds, butterflies and bees to the garden. The aromatic foliage smells like mint when crushed and is often used to flavour teas.
