An easy-to-grow and eye-catching North American native perennial plant, Cherry Pops Bee Balm features a solid dome of intense cherry red flowers filled with nectar that the hummingbirds, butterflies and beneficial pollinators will thank you for. We love this plant for its unique and lovely fragrant pompom flowers that rise above an attractive mound of dark green mint-scented foliage from mid to late summer. The foliage is often used to flavour teas. The flowers are also great for cutting and use in fresh or dried flower arrangements. Bee Balm is not finicky about soil type but does like a consistently moist but well-drained soil and at least 4 hours of sun per day.
