Description
Native to US. Prairies, this heirloom is also known as monarda, horsemint, wild bee balm and Oswego tea (because of its use by native Americans). Its complex flavor is a combination of oregano, thyme and mint, a unique seasoning for jellies, salads and other savory dishes. The showy, pinkish-lavender flowers bloom all summer to the delight of bees, hummingbirds and butterflies, the wood nymph butterfly in particular. Adaptable to short periods of drought and poor soils and resistant to mildew. Perennial in USDA zones 3 to 9. Deer-resistant.
