Scarlet Beebalm is a showy native known for its brilliant red tubular flowers that bloom in summer. It grows naturally in moist woodlands, stream banks, and meadows. The aromatic foliage and vibrant flowers make it a favourite for cottage gardens, and pollinator borders. It prefers moist, fertile soil. In ideal conditions it forms attractive clumps. It benefits from good air circulation as it is susceptible to powdery mildew, especially in crowded or dry conditions. You can divide every few years to maintain vigour. Avoid overly dry locations.
