Description
Monarda ‘Bee Lieve’, commonly known as Bee Balm, is a delightful perennial that brings a vibrant splash of colour and an irresistible charm to any garden. Known for its uniquely shaped flowers and sweetly aromatic foliage, this variety is a magnet for pollinators, drawing bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds throughout the summer. The flowers, a bold mix of soft lavender-pink and purple hues, are held in dense clusters that stand out against the plant’s lush, green foliage.
A reliable performer in English gardens, ‘Bee Lieve’ blooms from mid to late summer, providing a long season of colour and interest. Growing to a height of 80–90 cm, it’s perfect for the middle of borders, where it creates a soft yet striking presence. Its upright stems and clump-forming habit make it a practical choice for gardeners looking to add both structure and movement to their planting schemes.
Adaptable and easy to grow, this hardy perennial thrives in full sun or partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Its aromatic leaves are an added bonus, releasing a minty scent when brushed against or crushed, making it a wonderful choice for sensory gardens. Whether you’re creating a cottage-style border, a wildlife-friendly garden, or a meadow-inspired space, Monarda ‘Bee Lieve’ offers enduring beauty and ecological value.
