Bradbury's Monarda (Monarda bradburiana) 3-pack of pots
Can’t be shipped.
Bradbury’s Monarda is a fantastic addition to any garden. It is very short and spreads slowly, making it perfect for garden borders. It’s related to wild bergamot. The foliage of Bradbury’s Monarda is attractive on its own, having deep green leaves with shades of maroon and purple in spring and fall. Pretty pink flowers turn into interesting round balls after blooming, providing year-round texture and interest. This is a staple in many of our garden designs.
Also available in 12-packs of plugs here
