Pot Size: 1 quart
‘Gardenview scarlet’ Beebalm is a perennial which grows 2-3 feet tall in the garden with showy reddish-scarlet blooms in June to August which attract pollinators. The plant prefers rich, humusy soils in full sun, but appreciates some afternoon shade in hot summer climates. Soil must not be allowed to dry out. Remove spent flowers to improve plant appearance and possibly to prolong bloom. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to prevent overcrowding and to control mildly spreading tendencies (slowly spreads by rhizomes). 'Gardenview Scarlet' features tubular, two-lipped, rose red flowers borne in dense, globular, terminal heads (like unkempt mop-heads) atop square stems rising to 3' tall. Each flower head is subtended by (rests upon) a whorl of showy, red-tinged, leafy bracts. Long summer bloom period. Toothed, aromatic leaves can be used for tea and in salads. Attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies and bees, particularly when massed.
