Monarda citriodora
Lavender-white flowers are produced in whorled clusters at the top of strong, 60 cm (24") high stems. Both the leaves and flowers release a delightful lemon fragrance when bruised. The nectar in the flowers is very attractive to bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.
How to Grow

Grow on under lights at a cooler temperature of 14 C (58 F) before hardening off then transplanting outside after the danger of frost has passed. Choose a sunny site and space plants 25 cm (10") apart.
