Bee balm, also known as monarda, is covered with unique, lavender-pink flower clusters that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees to the garden. 

Use the edible petals to replace oregano in savory dishes, steep into tea, bake into breads, add to a fruit salad, or float in punch.

This variety was chosen because it is more tolerant to dry soil conditions than other varieties of bee balm. 

Plants bloom quickly for a splash of summer and fall color. 

The lovely petals are edible with a lemon-mint-oregano flavor. 

Pretty in a mixed bouquet of cut flowers and in wildflower gardens. 

'Lambada' is considered a tender perennial, although it does not reliably overwinter; best grown as an annual.
