Eastern Beebalm / Monarda, is also known as Monarda bradburiana. >>>>> Monarda bradburiana is often considered a superior beebalm for the garden. Attributes include its mildew resistance, short stocky stature, earlier bloom time and less aggressive spreading than other Monardas. Monarda fistulosa has similar appearance and culture and could be substituted in some situations if a longer blooming time is desired but with higher incidence of powdery mildew if air circulation is poor.
