Monarda punctata - Spotted Bee Balm

This clump forming member of the mint family works well as a back border plant or any area where a bit color is needed.  Its unique spotted flowers of pink, pale yellow and lavender make good cut flowers for arrangements, or they can be dried and used in sachets.  It is fragrant and attractive to bees and hummingbirds. It does reseed and may need to be tamed in areas with other plants, or place it by itself and let it fill a void with its charming, unusual flowers.
