Monarda didyma
From early summer to early autumn, Monarda didyma bears distinctive whorls of bright scarlet blooms, each one composed of 2-lipped, tubular flowers. The shaggy flowers are held on erect stems above clumps of deep green, aromatic foliage. Monarda didyma is a great choice for wildlife lovers, as it’s a magnet for bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. It has a wild, informal look that is perfect for cottage gardens and prairie plantings, associating particularly well with grasses. It enjoys reliably moist soils. Height: 90 cm (36). Spread: 45cm (18).Culinary note: Use the dried leaves to make Bergamot tea or use the sweet, spicy flavoured petals to enhance salads, jellies, rice or pasta dishes.
