Monarda Leading Lady Razzberry PP 34130 Thymophylla We see a first roundMonarda 'Leading Lady Razzberry' is yet another clumping, compact, non running, bee balm, that has been a superstar in our garden trials. Although only 14" tall in height, it has excellent vigor, producing a 3' wide patch with hundreds of fluorescent raspberry pink flowers, starting for us in mid May (NC). You may need earbuds to drown out the sound of the native bees who visit.
