At Native Edible Designs, we want to spread the word about native plants and celebrate their beauty, ecological importance, and enduring history on this land. Each month we will highlight one garden-worthy native and explain why we love it. 🌷🌷

As its name suggests, Monarda “bee balm” is a favorite of pollinators including bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Its seeds are also a food source for birds in the winter months. Its vibrantly bright flowers come in white, purple, red, and pink. Part of the mint family, bee balm’s flowers and leaves are deliciously fragrant. This plant is easy to grow and spreads quickly. It prefers full sun and moist, well drained soil. One of our absolute favorites!
