Meet 'Pardon My Purple', the perfect addition for those who love bold color but need a smaller footprint in the garden! This compact Monarda reaches just a foot tall, forming a neat, well-branched clump of deep green, glossy foliage. From mid to late summer, large fuchsia purple flowers—measuring 2½-3" across—burst forth, creating a stunning contrast against the foliage. Despite its dwarf size, the flowers are just as impressive as those on taller varieties. The sweet nectar attracts hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, making 'Pardon My Purple' not only a beautiful but also a pollinator-friendly choice for your garden!
