I got Monarda Jacob Cline to attract hummingbirds to my yard, and I just love it. Here's a close up of a bloom. Hopefully it will be mildew resistant.

How much heat will they take. I'd like to plant a couple in a pot next spring... for my deck...........

John, I have read that Monarda is native to as far south as northern Georgia. It grows well in moist soil in sun or part shade.

Beautiful! I noticed that mine were in bloom out in the bed by the street. It's a real eyecatcher!

Very pretty Pam, I'll be interested to hear from you as to how mildew resistant they are or not. Petite Delight has been the only one I've grown that didn't get mildew and also wasn't invasive.

Peggy, I will let you know. Thanks for the info on Petite Delight.

any time Pam. a note about PD, it's a dwarf, maybe 12" in my garden.
happy gardening!

Peggy, finally getting back to you! Yes, the Jacob Cline did get a minor case of powdery mildew. In its defense we did have a very hot and humid summer, but I think it was the driest summer on record.

Another great monarda is Raspberry Wine.Not as tall as the common one, but not as short as PD.A beautiful colour, just like the name. It is a bit invasive, but easily contained with that black plastic edging..

Wow! That is gorgeous. I have had 2 types of monarda and they both have died.
