Monarda UPSCALE™ ‘Red Velvet’ (Bee Balm)
Monarda UPSCALE™ ‘Red Velvet’ brings bold color, strong structure, and impressive disease resistance to the summer garden. Part of the UPSCALE™ series known for reintroducing height to modern Bee Balm, this vigorous perennial produces rich magenta-red blooms that blanket the top of the plant from mid to late summer. With its well-branched habit and sturdy stems, ‘Red Velvet’ delivers multiple flushes of long-lasting flowers that stand tall and upright throughout the season.
Reaching up to 32 inches tall and spreading to 36 inches wide, this native perennial forms a full, mounding clump that thrives in full sun to part shade and average to fertile soil.
