Size: 2 to 3 feet and wide
Conditions:Full sun to partial shade; moist to wet soil
Bee balm grow vigorously, ever in wet areas where not much els will thrive. It puts on a show with tubular flowers in tufts that remind me of a punk rocker's hairdo. Hummingbirds are especially attracted to its bright blooms. Powdery
mildew is a common disease, but resistant varieties are available. One of my favorite cultivars is 'Jacob Cline' (pictured).
