Bring lively summer color to your garden with Monarda 'Sugar Buzz® Berry Taffy', a compact bee balm selected for abundant, nectar-rich blooms and a neat clumping habit. You get bright berry-pink flower heads that stand above deep green foliage, adding bold texture and a long season of interest in mixed beds and pollinator plantings.

Plant it where you can enjoy the fragrance: the foliage is aromatic with a minty scent when brushed or crushed. Set plants in a border or mixed perennial bed, and space them so air can move through the stems. Deadhead spent blooms to keep the display tidy and to encourage continued flowering during summer.

For best performance, give this Monarda rich, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil and consistent watering, especially during dry spells. Full sun produces the heaviest flowering, but it also performs well with part shade (particularly in hotter climates). Mature size is about 14-16 inches tall, making it a strong choice for the front to middle of a planting, with a spread of roughly 18-24 inches.

Bee balm is a classic pollinator favorite, and this selection draws butterflies and hummingbirds to the garden. It is also noted for deer resistance, helping it hold its own in landscapes where browsing can be a concern. Cut back old stems in early spring to make room for vigorous new growth.
