Bee balm is the perfect plant for attracting hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators. It has clusters of red, tubular flowers that sit atop dark green, aromatic foliage. Bee balm prefer average, moisture-retentive soils in full sun to part shade. Although powdery mildew resistant, plants do best with good air circulation.
