Monarda ‘Cambridge Scarlet’, commonly known as Bergamot or Bee Balm, bears bright red flowers with narrow petals held above dark red bracts. Sturdy, upright stems carry aromatic, bronze-toned, lance-shaped leaves.
Its strong flower colour suits hot planting schemes. It has greater resistance to mildew compared with other varieties. Grow it in sun or partial shade in reasonably fertile, humus-rich soil that is well drained but retains moisture.
