Bee Balm (Monarda fistulosa)
Bee Balm is an exceptional plant that supports our fuzzy friends! It grows right here in Santa Fe and belongs to the mint family, which means it has a wonderful aroma and produces plenty of sweet nectar for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to enjoy.
Have you noticed its flowers? They resemble colorful, shaggy pom-poms! Because of this unique shape, many tiny visitors can land and snack at the same time. Additionally, Bee Balm is quite resilient, making it easy to cultivate in your own backyard garden!
