Homeowner Growing Tips

Grow in full sun, preferably, or dappled shade. Avoid crowding. Plant in moist, well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Amend with compost before planting. Water new plantings regularly to establish. Thereafter, do not allow plants to dry out in summer. Deadhead after flowering for rebloom. In early spring, cut old foliage to the ground; divide every 3-4 years at this time, if desired. Apply a balanced all-purpose fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) in spring when growth resumes.

Love Monarda for hummingbirds

I have had Jacob Cline Monarda for years because the hummingbirds love them. I wanted something a little shorter to place in front on garden. These fit perfectly! And they came super healthy and almost ready to bloom. I'm but sure yet if hummingbirds like them but they are a pretty purple color and beautiful!
