Monarda Didyma Balmy Lilac is a beautiful perennial plant that is known for its vivid lilac flowers. The flowers are about 1-2 inches in diameter and bloom from summer to autumn with regular dead heading. The leaves are dark green and contrast with the flowers. It is a relatively easy plant to grow prefering full sun to partial shade and well-drained, humus-rich soil. It is drought-tolerant once established, but does appreciate regular watering during hot, dry weather.

Features:

• Both the flowers and the foliage have a string scent which makes it highly attractive to bees, butterlies and other pollinators.

Height: 30cm x 15cm
Planting : When planting in the open ground it is best planted with a mixture of your garden soil and a good quality Tree and Shrub Compost. If planting in a container then we recommend John Innes No3 Compost or a good quality Multipurpose compost with added John Innes. These plants should be fed in Spring and late Summer with a good quality granular fertiliser.
