Monarda 'Cambridge Scarlet'

Monarda ‘Cambridge Scarlet’, also known as Bee Balm, is a hardy perennial with striking, bright-red flowers that appear in dense clusters through the summer months. Flowering from July to September, it adds a strong splash of colour and height to beds and borders, while its scented leaves carry a fresh bergamot aroma. The vibrant blooms are also a favourite with bees and butterflies, making it a great choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.

This plant is easy to grow and care for. It thrives in full sun or partial shade with moist but well-drained soil. Keep it watered during dry periods and remove faded flowers to encourage more blooms. In autumn, cut the stems back to ground level to prepare for healthy growth the following year. With very little effort, Monarda ‘Cambridge Scarlet’ will return each summer, bringing reliable colour, fragrance, and pollinator activity to your garden.
