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!

Completely dead. Probably 2 inches of space between the soil and the pot, not even sure how that happens? Pot was also completely cracked in half

One of my plants arrived in horrible condition. Every single branch was laying in the bottome of the pot. I will be lucky if this plant is strong enough to make it thriugh winter. The other plant was in very rough shape when it arrived.
