Bee-Free Bee Balm is a carefree uniform herbaceous perennial with sturdy upright stems and aromatic serrated dark green foliage. The fringe-like electric purple flowers blooms in whorls at the top of the thick stems in summer, attracting bees and butterflies. Best bloom in full sun and well-drained soil. The Bee-You series is mildew free due to improved resistance.
