Monarda citriodora (Lemon Beebalm) is a fragrant, easy-to-grow annual that stands 1-2+ feet tall, producing whorled lavender to pink flower heads on tuft-like spikes. This aromatic herb thrives in dry, sandy to rocky soils and full sun, often forming large colonies. Its distinctive citrusy scent attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it a favorite in wildflower meadows and pollinator gardens. Although it can become aggressive in optimal conditions, it is highly deer-resistant and can be used for teas and flavoring foods. Scientific Name: Monarda citriodora Origin: Texas, Central U.S. Height: 1-3 feet Spread: 1-2 feet Light: Full sun, Part shade Water: Low USDA Zones: 4-9 Bloom Dates: May to October Show more
