Monarda fistulosa, commonly known as Wild Bergamot or “Bee Balm,” is a standout foundation plant for native gardens. Its blooms draw in an array of long‑tongued bees and even hummingbirds. As a member of the mint family, its leaves carry a wonderfully strong scent, making it a perfect addition to a sensory garden. Enjoy these 4-foot-tall beauties as they begin their blooming period at the Cabin on Main Street here at the Fairgrounds!
