Striking blooms in a saturated shade of deep pink ensure the 'Pardon My Rose' Monarda didyma will stand out and be a centerpiece of your landscape. This low-maintenance plant, also known as Bergamot or Bee Balm, has beautiful pink flowers. If you look closely at the petals, you will see dots in darker shades of pink that add dimension and even more visual interest to these stunners. Flowers appear in the spring and summer, with peak blooms in midsummer for most regions. The flowers and the foliage are fragrant, making this plant a welcome addition even after the blooms fade. 

'Pardon My Rose' Monarda didyma comes from North America and is native to USDA zones 4 through 8. This easy-care plant makes a beautiful addition to borders, landscapes, mass plantings, and containers, and it is prized for cut flowers. Monarda didyma attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds but is deer-resistant. Bee Balm clump-forming so it will keep a compact footprint and gradually spread out to cover a larger area. If the plant outgrows its space, it can easily be propagated through division. 

Pardon My Rose Bee Balm Care

Plant Monarda didyma in a sunny area that receives full or part sun, so at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight daily. This plant has high water needs and prefers consistent moisture, so water when the top layer of the soil is slightly damp—spread mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture. Soil should be rich and fertile and have a pH of 6.5 to 8.0. Monarda didyma is not a heavy feeder, and good soil will easily sustain the plant, but feeding in the spring with a balanced fertilizer can provide an extra boost and promote new growth.

Remove flowers as they die back or deadhead the plant. Promote new growth by trimming an established plant back to 1 foot tall in the spring before the flowers open. This pruning technique will encourage the plant to push out new growth. Trim back all greenery to 1 inch tall in the spring to help the plant overwinter.

Pardon My Rose Bee Balm Spacing

Give Monarda didyma room to spread out and space plants 22 to 28 inches apart when planting. Mature plants reach heights of 14 to 18 inches tall.
