Monarda Sugar Buzz ‘Blue Moon’
Monarda Sugar Buzz 'Blue Moon' is a short, compact, mildew-resistant bee balm with lavender blue flowers.
Monarda Sugar Buzz ‘Blue Moon’ displays lavender blue flowers held by attractive purple bracts. The Sugar Buzz series offers short, compact plants for the front and middle of the border that are smothered in long-lasting flowers. The flowers’ sweet nectar attracts scores of hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees to the garden. The aromatic foliage smells like mint when crushed and can be used to make herbal tea.
