Spotted Bee Balm (Monarda punctata) is an enchanting native plant reaching up to 24 inches tall, ideal for adding vibrant color to any garden with its striking purple blooms appearing from July to September. This plant thrives in medium-dry, sandy soils and can grow in full or partial sun, making it versatile for various planting sites. Not only is Spotted Bee Balm a visual delight, but it is also essential for local ecosystems. It attracts butterflies, sphinx moths, bees, and hummingbirds as a critical food source, especially supporting the endangered Karner Blue butterfly. Additionally, it acts as a larval host for both the Gray Marvel moth and Raspberry pyrausta butterfly. Despite its prolific benefits to pollinators, this perennial does not spread aggressively, making it a perfect, manageable addition to perennial beds.
