CRANBERRY LACE BEE BALM
Monarda 'Cranberry Lace' is a stunning dwarf Bee Balm that offers a sophisticated, jewel-toned display on a remarkably compact frame, typically reaching only 9 to 12 inches in height. It is celebrated for its unique, ruffled clusters of deep rosy-pink to cranberry-red flowers that emerge from tinted bracts, creating a multi-dimensional look from mid-to-late summer. The foliage is a rich, dark green and possesses a delightful minty fragrance that effectively deters deer and rabbits while acting as a high-energy magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies. Its shorter stature and mounding habit make it an ideal edging plant for sunny walkways or a vibrant, aromatic addition to patio containers.
The ideal spot for 'Cranberry Lace' is a location in full sun to very light shade with rich, organic soil that remains consistently moist but well-draining. Unlike many older varieties, 'Cranberry Lace' was specifically bred for high resistance to powdery mildew, though it still performs best when given enough space to allow for excellent air circulation. To keep the plant thriving, ensure the soil does not dry out completely during summer dry spells, as drought stress can lead to yellowing or dropped lower leaves.
