Get ready for a saccharin dose of vivid, firework-looking flowers! Sugar Buzz™ Rockin' Raspberry Bee Balm will knock you in the face with its vibrant, 2.5-inch, deep raspberry flowers that contrast dark green foliage. Flowering close to the fourth of July, these flowers resemble an exploding firework and attract tons of hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators. This well-branched, native cultivar of monarda is more compact and does not fall over like its native relative. 

Sugar Buzz™ Rockin' Raspberry Bee Balm has an aromatic mint smell when the leaves are brushed or crushed. It is deer and rabbit resistant and was bred to be powdery mildew resistant. This smaller native cultivar is great for borders and edges and in containers or combos. The plant is low maintenance and easy to grow.

Sugar Buzz™ Rockin' Raspberry Bee Balm Care

Sugar Buzz™ Rockin' Raspberry Bee Balm prefers full sun and can tolerate light shade. The plant tolerates average soils and prefers moist, well-draining soil. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry. Provide the plant good air circulation to avoid powdery mildew. This bee balm does not require regular feeding but a small amount of all-purpose 10-10-10 fertilizer will benefit the plant as would a layer of compost at the time of planting. 

Sugar Buzz™ Rockin' Raspberry Bee Balm does not require pruning. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong bloom time. The plant can be cut back to the ground after the first frost or left for winter interest and pollinator habitat. Cut back plants to the ground in late winter or early spring to make room for new growth. If planted in a container, Sugar Buzz™ Rockin' Raspberry Bee Balm will need more frequent watering than in the garden. When the top couple inches of soil dry out, water thoroughly in the morning at the base of the plant. 

Sugar Buzz™ Rockin' Raspberry Bee Balm Spacing

Compact in size, Sugar Buzz™ Rockin' Raspberry Bee Balm will reach 20 - 24 inches high with a 16-20-inch spread. Space plants roughly 18-20 inches apart.

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.

Guarantee and Warranty

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.
