| Monarda didyma  |
Description Monarda didyma ‘Jacob Cline’ is a natural cross that was discovered in the south by plantsman Don Cline. It has the aromatic foliage and square stems that is common to the mint family. In mid to late summer ‘Jacob Cline’ will bloom with large 3” tubular flowers of deep scarlet color with a tinge of blue. These flowers are held in dense, two layered, whorls that can be up to 4” across. Like the mints, Monarda can have a very fast growth rate when planted in the shade, however, if a less aggressive growth is desired plant in full sun. ‘Jacob Cline’ is the most mildew and rust resistant cultivar on the market. To assist in this resistance, give it good air circulation, and moist fertile soils, not allowing it to dry and stress. This selection of Bee Balm can get 4' tall. Hardiness: USDA Zones
