Monarda 'Bee-Pretty' - 2026

Monarda 'Bee-Pretty' is a compact and vibrant perennial that brings a splash of colour to any garden. Its dense clusters of lavender-purple flowers with dusky rose centres bloom from June to September, creating a striking contrast against its deep green, aromatic foliage. This cultivar is part of the Bee-You series, valued for its tidy habit and resistance to mildew, making it ideal for borders, containers, or pollinator-friendly areas.

Ecologically, 'Bee-Pretty' attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators with its abundant nectar, supporting local biodiversity. The aromatic leaves, reminiscent of mint, can also be used to flavour teas or add fragrance to gardens. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, establishing quickly and thriving with minimal maintenance in most UK garden conditions.
