Description
Bring vibrant color and pollinator power to your Massachusetts garden with Blue Moon Beebalm. This hardy perennial forms a dense mound of lavender-purple flowers with striking blue overtones and purple bracts, blooming from mid to late summer. Its strong stems and dark green foliage resist powdery mildew, making it an easy-care choice for borders and beds. Ideal for cutting, the blooms also release a pleasant fragrance, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
Blue Moon Beebalm thrives in Massachusetts landscapes and works well in mass plantings, woodland gardens, and even containers. Its mounded habit and medium texture blend beautifully with other perennials, while deer tend to avoid it. While it may spread and self-seed, occasional maintenance like fall trimming keeps it tidy. Plant it in a sunny or partly shaded spot and enjoy a season full of color and pollinator activity.
Each plant comes in a #1 (1 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
