The 3-N-1 Balmy™ Bee Balm Collection introduces texture and color to a landscape. The collection includes a Monarda didyma Balmy™ Purple ('Balbalmurp'), Balmy™ Pink ('Balbalmink'), and Balmy™ Rose ('Balbalmose'). The feathery petals provide texture, while the light, medium, and dark pink flowers offer a curated look. Dark green ovate foliage with wide serrated edges provides even more texture and fullness.
These color-coordinated plants look lovely in a mixed bed and make a stunning mass planting. Grow them in containers to enjoy the flowers up close, or add them to a container with other colorful plants where they work as a filler. These plants are deer resistant, making them a good pick for areas with high deer pressure. The 3-N-1 Balmy™ Bee Balm Collection plants grow in zones 4 through 9.
3-N-1 Balmy™ Bee Balm Collection Care
The 3-N-1 Balmy™ Bee Balm Collection plants prefer full sun and rich, moist, and well-drained soil. Water consistently to keep the soil damp, but avoid overly wet conditions. Fertilize annually each spring with a balanced, slow-release formula.
Remove spent flowers to maintain a tidy look. Trim leggy growth as needed around mid-summer. Remove all growth to ground level after the first heavy frost.
3-N-1 Balmy™ Bee Balm Collection Spacing
The plants in the 3-N-1 Balmy™ Bee Balm Collection grow 1 foot tall and wide at maturity. Space plants one foot apart to create a continuous planting.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
