Monarda 'Pink Supreme' - 2026

Monarda 'Pink Supreme' is a bold perennial with striking presence in UK borders. From midsummer through early autumn it bears large, shaggy whorls of cerise-pink flowers on sturdy upright stems, offering a vibrant display that contrasts beautifully with its aromatic, mid-green foliage. The substantial flower heads add texture and height, making it ideal for planting where its blooms can be admired up close. It has relatively compact proportions compared to some Monarda cultivars, meaning it fits well in mixed borders or wildlife gardens without becoming overwhelming.

Ecologically, 'Pink Supreme' is excellent for attracting bees, butterflies and other pollinators with its nectar-rich blooms. The scented foliage adds fragrance to the garden when brushed, and its reliable hardy nature makes it low maintenance in suitable conditions. It prefers full sun or partial shade, thrives in moist but well-drained soil, and performs best with regular watering in dry spells. With good airflow to reduce risk of mildew, it rewards gardeners with consistent flower and foliage display each season.
