Description

Inject a bold splash of colour into your planting schemes with this bright bee-magnet If you like bright flowers, Monarda 'Pink Supreme' certainly has the edge you may be looking for. Also known as Bee Balm, the flowers are a favourite for bees and butterflies who just can’t resist the generously nectar-filled flowers. What’s more, with their vibrant punky flowers and aromatic foliage, they look and smell fantastic!

Love the fragrance of Earl Grey tea? Bergamot is the refreshing note you’ll be familiar with and emits from the lush green leaves of this lovely plant. Brush past them on a sunny day and you’ll be momentarily enveloped! This generous plant gives a lot and asks for very little in return. Monarda 'Pink Supreme' is fully hardy so it can be left to its own devices through winter, the following spring it will grow back, each year with more stems that the last.

Useful information

    • Soak the Monarda 'Pink Supreme' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting

    • Plant your "Pink bergamot" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors

    • Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).

    • Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
