Add bold summer color and pollinator power with Monarda 'Sugar Buzz™ Rockin' Raspberry' (Bee Balm 'Sugar Buzz™ Rockin' Raspberry'). You get rich raspberry-red flower heads held above deep green foliage, plus a pleasant minty aroma when you brush past the leaves.

Plant it where you can enjoy the action: butterflies and hummingbirds quickly find the blooms, and the compact habit fits easily into borders and mixed perennial beds. At maturity, expect roughly 20-24 inches tall with a tidy, mounded presence that stays well suited to smaller gardens.

For best flowering, grow in full sun to part shade. In hotter or drier areas, a little afternoon shade can help the plant look fresher, while still keeping bloom production strong. Give it room for air flow and avoid crowding so foliage dries quickly after rain or irrigation.

Bee balm prefers moist to average, well-drained soil. Water during dry spells, especially in the first season, and consider a light mulch to keep soil moisture even. Deadhead the first flush if you want to encourage more flowering and a longer show through the heart of summer.

In late fall or early spring, cut stems back near the ground and remove old growth to refresh the clump. If the plant becomes dense over time, dividing every few years helps maintain vigor and keeps flowering at its best.
