Bee Balm is an easy-care perennial known for uniquely textured flowers and foliage that gives off a sweet fragrance. The Upscale™ 'Pink Chenille' Bee Balm is a Monarda hybrid. The large flowers are 3½” wide and have feathery fluorescent pink petals with light pink interiors, creating a two-tone effect. The flowers grow on sturdy, well-branched stems. The Upscale™ 'Pink Chenille' Bee Balm blooms mid-summer, and with proper care, may bloom a second time.

The Upscale™ 'Pink Chenille' Bee Balm is a clump-forming plant with an upright growth habit. Feature this lovely flowering perennial in beds, borders, or containers. The flowers and the foliage emit a sweet smell, so feature it near a door, walkway, or outdoor entertaining space to enjoy the plant fully. Dark green foliage provides a nice contrast to the bold pink flowers. Pollinators are drawn to this plant. The Upscale™ 'Pink Chenille' Bee Balm grows in zones 4 through 8.

Upscale™ 'Pink Chenille' Bee Balm Care

Select an area that receives full to partial sun for the Upscale™ 'Pink Chenille' Bee Balm. This perennial prefers rich soil that is moist but also allows water to drain. Bee Balm plants have medium to high water needs, so keep the plant hydrated, especially during a dry period. A layer of organic mulch will prevent the soil from drying out as fast while also supporting new growth. Apply a balanced fertilizer in the spring to help the Upscale™ 'Pink Chenille' Bee Balm start the growing season strong. 

Remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Trim up to one-third of the growth after the flowers fade to encourage a more dense and full look and promote more flowers.

Upscale™ 'Pink Chenille' Bee Balm Spacing

This medium-sized plant will grow 20 to 22 inches tall and 18 to 22 inches wide. Space plants 22 inches apart to create a dense planting while also allowing space for air to circulate around the foliage.

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.
