We where very excited when we heard the news of the first ever dwarf Monarda - a few years have passed and the excitement has not went away.  This wonderful Bee Balm has lavender-rose flowers that appear on very compact mounds of dark green crinkled foliage. As with all Monarda the hummingbirds and butterflies flock to it all summer.  Plants grow between 12 -15 inches in height making them perfect for the front of sunny garden.  Petite Delight is a patented perennial and therefore we have a limited supply of these wonderful plants.  Get your order in early before we sell out.

Plant in full sun and provide a rich well drained soil. Plants can be grown in partial shade but will cause flowering to decline. Fertilize in early spring with a top dressing of composted manure and bone meal.  Liquid feed once in the summer with fish emulsion or a compost tea.  Provide plants with extra water during prolonged dry spells, dry soils promotes powdery mildew, a fungal problem common in Monardas.  Deadheading will promote longer flowering.  Plants spread rapidly by underground stems and need to be divided every three years to keep them looking their best.
