Almost fluorescent, Monarda 'Coral Reef' (Bee Balm) is a clump-forming perennial boasting masses of unique coral pink flowers, borne in dense, globular terminal heads. Blooming for weeks from mid to late summer, they rest upon a whorl of decorative bracts. The colorful and nectar-rich blooms ensure that butterflies and hummingbirds are regular visitors to the garden. Their vibrant color is set off to perfection by the dark green leaves, which are delightfully fragrant and can be enjoyed in salads or simply by passing by. This Monarda enjoys a good resistance to powdery mildew. Introduced by Agriculture Canada from its breeding program in Morden, Manitoba.
