I have grown this plant for two years. The first year the bunnies ate it down to the dirt. This year I am happy to report the plant is growing and blooming to my delight. Its an unusual color and a great addition to the front of the garden.

This Razzberry monarda is a fantastic monarda for our SE Mi garden. It blooms profusely, and I have never in the two years we've grown them seen any mildew. It also does propagate easily in the moist soil that it likes, and spreads some, but slowly. Keep deadheading when blooms are just spent and you will be rewarded with more blooms until frost.
