Monarda fistulosa, also called wild bergamot, is a clustering, showy perennial wildflower that produces showy rounded flower heads with lavender colored blooms from the late spring well into mid autumn. As a beebalm relative, wild bergamot's hardy, showy blooms attract a wide variety of pollinators, hummingbirds, and people for their striking colors and aroma.
Typical specimens of Monarda fistulosa grow to 2-4' tall, and have the tendency to spread to form two or three foot wide clumps. The leaves have a minty perfume scent, and can be used in pollinator gardens, meadows, small beds, or herb gardens for their use in teas and other consumables.
