Bee Balm Grand Parade, Monarda 'Grand Parade'™, is an exceptionally hardy hybrid from the Morden Breeding Program in Manitoba. In mid to late summer, the compact bushy plants are covered with fun looking 2.5" lavender purple flowers. Hummingbirds and butterflies cannot resist the sweet nectar of these fragrant flowers! The shiny dark green foliage has a delightful fragrance of mint that deer dislike. Monarda 'Grand Parade™' also exhibits very good mildew resistance! Monarda are best grown in rich soil in a well-drained area, not being allowed to dry out. The leaves of monarda can be used for teas and in salads. Attracting hummingbirds, butterflies and bees, particularly when massed, monarda provides color and contrast for the perennial border, wild garden, meadow, and herb garden or along ponds or streams.
