Monarda 'Aquarius'

Monarda 'Aquarius'

Bee Balm

A long-lasting cultivar requiring minimal division over time. Features good mildew resistance and soft violet-purple colour. The excellent winter silhouette extends garden interest beyond the growing season. Plants maintain vigor without frequent intervention.

The reduced maintenance needs and mildew resistance make it more reliable than older selections. The soft purple tones work well in pastel schemes. The winter structure adds architectural interest when many perennials have collapsed. Good choice for lower-maintenance borders.
