Get a head start on summer color with 'Leading Lady Razzberry' Monarda! Unlike typical bee balm varieties that bloom in midsummer, this delightful variety leads the way with bright raspberry-purple flowers starting as early as the first week of June. Growing to just about a foot tall, it forms a compact, well-behaved clump that won't take over your garden. The dark green leaves with a purple hue and striking dark bracts provide a perfect backdrop to its vibrant blooms. 'Leading Lady Razzberry' is a magnet for butterflies, hummingbirds, and honeybees, thanks to its sweet nectar, and its aromatic foliage is naturally deer-resistant. Ideal for a tidy, early summer display, this little beauty will add charm and color to any garden!
