Monarda 'Marshall's Delight' is a striking variety of bee balm that adds both beauty and functionality to the garden. Known for its vivid pink flowers and its appeal to pollinators, it’s a fantastic choice for gardeners looking to attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds while adding a pop of color to borders and perennial beds. Once established, bee balm is relatively low-maintenance, needing little beyond occasional deadheading and dividing every few years. Deer-resistant.
