Monarda bradburiana (Bradbury's Monarda)
Also called Bradbury's Bee Balm, this Monarda is much shorter and more compact than the popular classic prairie plant Monarda fistulosa, or Wild Bergamot.  Bradbury's Monarda is an excellent choice for home landscaping tolerating near full sun to full shade conditions and average garden soil.  Like all Bee Balm species, it has a wonderful minty smell and will attract many pollinating insects.
