Description
40-48" tall x 18-24" wide (cutting propagated). At last, a cold hardy, heat tolerant, xeric Bee Balm! 'Peter's Purple' is as beautiful as it is durable in the garden. A garden hybrid between Monarda bartlettii and Monarda fistulosa, this vigorous, heat lover blooms for months in summer with showy lavender-purple flowers. The deep green foliage is completely powdery mildew resistant, making it a "must have" hummingbird plant for all areas of the US.

"Peoduct was well packages and plants were in great shape"
Planning to buy more!
"After some unsuccessful tries at growing monarda from seed, I went with this plant and I'm so glad I did. Planted in May and flowering abundantly in late July in a slightly shaded front yard in Colorado's front range. I hope it spreads far and wide in my bed that was a former sad lawn of grass and dandelions. The purple flowers remind me of punk rock hairdos and make me smile."
Love this one!
"Prolific bloomer, pretty. I deadheaded and after a few weeks, it's blooming again. Very happy with it."
Yes
"Did not disappoint, beautiful. Brought lots of bees to my garden,a win win!"
Exploded 2nd Year!
"I bought this one March of '22 and it didn't do much since we had terrible heat and drought. I thought it was dead for sure but this spring it shot up to 45"" tall and looks great! (Picture taken May 11th, '23)."
I would buy this product again.
"Performed well with lots of flowers."
It grows and multiplies!
"This plant is easy to grow and does very well in Albuquerque."
Transformed impossible area into showpie
"We planted this bee balm in a small strip between an ugly foundation on our 1910 home and the sidewalk that leads to the patio. It is hot and dry there. The soil is hard clay. We added some garden soil, planted and hand watered the plot faithfully for three weeks. Peter's Purple just filled in beautifully. Bees, butterflies and hummingbirds enjoyed the bee balm well into fall. Did I mention the color is stunning? When we left our homme in the city, the hardest part was leaving the garden we had grown over the years. So we brought our HCG catalog and have started once again. Peter's Purple is a great start."
