Monarda is one of the many pleasures my husband and I enjoy in our gardens. Its fragrant leaves make us aware that it’s there and happily attracting Bees, Butterflies, Hummingbirds as well as delighted gardeners – it smells so good. Another of its’s benefits, it is deer resistant. Its blossom’s come in a variety of heights and colors, with its wonderful fragrant leaves you should find a place for this perennial in your garden.
