DESCRIPTION

Native Monardas tend to be a bit rangy in their growth habit, but Bee Balm 'Balmy Purple' (Monarda didyma Balmy Purple) changes all that with a compact, tidy growth habit. The absolutely magnificent purple flowers are carried in large, showy heads that will attract birds, butterflies - and you. Those flowers look good enough to eat, and they are, in fact, edible, so go ahead! Whereas old-style Bee Balms were prone to mildew, that problem has been overcome, so you'll enjoy low-maintenance gardening and magnificent blooms.

SHIPPING DETAILS

Shipping Methods

Orders will be shipped via FedEx Home Delivery.

Orders are generally in route for 2-5 business days (depending on where you live).

We are sticklers about packaging and shipping your order in a way that guarantees healthy plants upon arrival. If plants are damaged on arrival, just let us know and we'll send you new ones or offer a full refund.

All of our plants are container grown and shipped with the soil and roots fully intact. We DO NOT ship your plants bare-root. Being shipped as a containered plant greatly reduces the risk of the plant not surviving the transit to your home.

bee balm balmy purple

I am going to love any of the bee balms. Enjoy all the many color available

Arrived in great shape

Arrived here in great shape - just in time for 3 days of rain followed shortly after planting with several more days of rain!! It's got buds and plant looks good - I think it's just waiting for some sunshine! (So am I.)

Arrived in perfect shape. Planted and is healthy and growing. Cannot wait for it to bloom

Have lots of bees in my garden including bumble bees. I bought the Balmy Purple for them!! Cannot wait as stated for it to bloom for them and me.

Bee Balm pkants

Arrived as expected and were in very good health. Followed directions and have some beautiful, thriving plants 🪴

New Balm

Arrived in great condition, they’re are doing good in my flower bed with lots of buds, just waiting on them to bloom.

Great Plants!

One is beautiful but the other didn’t make it!

One of our bee balm is absolutely beautiful and healthy; one didn’t as good when we got it (all the other plants in shipment were fine)! It has since died. The one hasn’t flowered yet but looks good!

Plants in bad condition

The Bee Balm plants made a slow journey from Oregon to Indiana. Travel time was eleven days. The leaves and stems had rotted. I planted anyway and will see what happens. If I had realized the shipment would take that long to arrive I would not have ordered. In the future, if I buy plants online, I will order from a seller located closer.

Hello George,
I just sent you an email! I am so sorry for their delay in shipping and bad shape due to that. Please reach out anytime at hello@thegreenhousepnw.com with concerns or questions.
