Description
15-20" tall x 18-20" wide (cutting propagated.) Wonderfully compact, 'Fireball' blooms in mid-summer with compact spikes of bright, scarlet-red flowers. The showy blossoms are held above aromatic, glossy green foliage that is highly resistant to mildew. It's an excellent choice for small gardens or upfront in the perennial border where it will attract lots of hummingbirds and butterflies.

As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds.

Reviews
Excellent size and condition. Showed
"Excellent size and condition. Showed no shipping stress and transitioned into the ground without a hiccup! Can’t wait to see it grow and bloom!"
"Plants arrived in fine shape and are doing well"
Was small and dry when
"Was small and dry when opened. Planted immediately. Will see what happens."
Cute but problematic
"I've had two problems with these plants: 1) lots of powdery mildew, despite watering at the base and full sun, and 2) the flowers are not red, but magenta, which is disappointing to me as I specifically chose this variety for the hue."
Pop of color
"Only 1 of 2 ordered survived, but it is large and healthy and was covered in brightly colored blooms April-June. I am waiting to see if it may bloom again in fall. Fantastic color. Will order again."
I would buy again
"This is a really pretty bloom. The cut flower lasts a long time. The plant itself is a little leggy and taller than I thought it would be but it looks good from the street. I planted in fall and it came back in the spring."
Fireball bee balm
"I love the bee balm. Red is a favorite color. I found this plant to be quite hardy as well as attractive to butterflies and bees. The bring great color to my flower beds and can make it through the winters here. I would recommend this plant to everyone."
Lovely and bold!
"This is a beautiful and bold little plant! I love it. #sweepstakes"
Perfect Condition
"I want beautiful colors that will attract many varieties of butterflies. The bees need to arrive and stay around also. I attract many many birds to my bird feeders and want them to enjoy the seeds from the plants. (Our state intends to add yet another wildflower to the noxious weed list. . . Tiesel . . . that all pollinators enjoy. So they are already out spraying. BAH!) I write an outdoor column for the Miami Republic, Paola, KS, and mentioned your name as a fantastic plant provider,"
Fireball plants are thriving
"The Fireball plants are thriving in a railing plant container. It is April here in MD so I have the containers in a grow tent but I expect to move the (4) plants outside in May. I look forward to watching them bloom and see if the pollinators like them."
