Monarda 'Sugar Buzz® Blue Moon' gives you big bee balm color on a tidy, compact plant. In summer, it tops sturdy stems with dense, lavender-blue flower heads that draw bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The deep green foliage is pleasantly aromatic when brushed, making it a great choice near paths, patios, and outdoor seating.

Plant it in full sun to part shade. In hotter climates, a bit of afternoon shade can help keep the foliage looking its best. Provide evenly moist, well-drained soil, and water at the base during dry spells. A layer of mulch helps keep roots cool and conserves moisture. Give plants enough space and good air circulation to reduce powdery mildew pressure.

Deadhead after the main flush to keep the planting neat, and cut back stems after flowering or at season's end. Divide clumps every few years in spring or fall if vigor declines or if you want more plants. Pair it with other summer perennials that enjoy similar moisture, and use it to add a punch of cool-toned color to borders and pollinator gardens.
