Product Details

Product Details

This drop-dead red Monarda 'Jacob Cline' was found growing wild near the Blue Ridge Parkway by a Georgia plantsman who knew he had a good thing when his discovery proved all but impervious to powdery mildew. Large, showy flower heads and disease-resistant foliage ensure that 'Jacob Cline' sets the standard for red Monardas.

This North American genus has several species, all of which share tartly fragrant foliage and the square stems that typify members of the Mint family. The late-summer flower heads are hemispheres of tubular blooms in brilliant colors. Plants thrive in full sun or partial shade and evenly moist soil. Under these conditions, they are vigorous to the point of invasiveness, perhaps past it. Hummingbirds are drawn to the flowers.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

OUR GUARANTEE

We guarantee to ship plants that are in prime condition for growing. If your order is damaged or fails to meet your expectations, we will cheerfully replace or refund it. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-503-9624 or email us at [email protected]. Please include your order number or customer number when contacting us.

Hummingbirds Love It!

We live in northern Vermont, and this Beebalm really thrives! We always enjoy watching the hummingbirds drinking the nectar. As the flowers first open in July, they look quite low-key and subtle, but as they continue to open they become intensely red.

Love these flowers!!!

I have a white lacy hydrangea and I planted them next to this and the contrast was absolutely stunning. Many comments about this and all were favorable. They grow well in partial shade as well but the ones I planted there did not grow as tall as the ones that I planted in full sun. Still beautiful. I was also impressed that when we had a wind storm the other day they were still standing and looking very stately.
I would recommend these to anyone who would like a splash of color at the end of summer. Very beautiful!!

Blooming when everything else is spent

The best things are that it is a beatutiful red color, drought tolerant, long blooming, and blooms at the perfect time, right at the end of summer when mostly everything else is done flowering.

  • Choose a location in full sun or partial shade with moisture-retentive soil. In dry conditions, Bee Balm is susceptible to powdery mildew. 
  • For potted varieties, plant the crown at soil level. For bareroot varieties, plant with the old stems pointing up. Fan out the runners horizontally and cover them with just ¼" of soil.
  • Mulch plants in spring and irrigate during summer dry spells. Plants spread rapidly. Divide every year or two in spring to keep them in check.
