The showy unique Raspberry Wine Bee Balm (Monarda x 'Raspberry Wine'), also known as Bergamont, Horsemint, or Oswego Tea, is a clump-forming perennial that has tubular, two-lipped, raspberry flowers with dark green, aromatic foliage!
Raspberry Wine puts forth its gorgeous blooms from July to August, but if deadheaded, even repeat blooms will be encouraged. Both the flowers and foliage are fragrant, and ideal for potpourri, cut flower arrangements, and pollinator gardens!
Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds are drawn to the vibrant color and generous nectar sources, standing tall on their square Mint-family stems, these perennials are heat and cold-hardy throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 9. Growing up to 3-4 feet tall when in bloom and spreading up to 3 feet wide. In some areas, Monarda can colonize small areas by way of underground stems.
Landscape Application:
The leaves of your plant can be used for teas and in salads, so plant Raspberry Wine in your herb gardens and around your veggies and orchards to entice the bees and beneficial insects in, helping with the heavy task of pollination.
This variety is particularly attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, especially when massed, but is also deer and rabbit-resistant. This carefree Raspberry Wine Bee Balm provides color and contrast for the perennial border, wildflower garden, meadow and naturalized areas!
Bee Balm can handle that moist growing location where other plants may struggle. Pot up in your mixed planters for a showy summer thriller, or let these spreading perennials ramble through the Cottage garden, Rock Garden, or around the outskirts of your water features in the sun! Must haves for the cut flower garden, you'll love their unique beauty and fragrance indoors and out!

- Aromatic Green Foliage
- Long Summer Bloom Time
- Attracts Pollinators & Hummingbirds
- Clumping Upright Forms For Perennial Gardens, Cut Flowers & Massing
#ProPlantTips for Care:
This magnificent plant does best when planted in full or partial sun, and will tolerate afternoon shade well. A fast-growing variety, the Raspberry Wine will grow quite quickly, so it's a good idea to divide the plant every few years, for best results. Raspberry Wine Bee Balms are best grown in rich soil in a well-drained area, not being allowed to dry out. This plant prefers neutral to alkaline soils but isn't too fussy overall. This Bee Balm is also a disease and mildew-resistant variety.
Provide a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around the root system to support your plants. Prune back all the foliage in the late fall once it dies back, removing the leaves and stems from the area to yard waste. The aromatic foliage means that Bee Balm are deer and rabbit-resistant! Deadhead after flowers fade to encourage a rebloom later in the season. Divide clumps every few years to maintain their size and vigor.
