- Product number: 597580

A subtly tinted, but little-known Monarda with somewhat mottled, lilac-pink flowers. The leaves have a very strong lemon scent and give your cup of tea a true Earl Grey aroma. Also excellent for potpourris. Protect well in winter; the plant is slightly more sensitive than many other Monardas and is often grown as an annual.
