Spotted Bee Balm is a pollinator magnet. Aromatic and colorful, the lavender-pink and yellow petals are actually leafy bracts that surround the true flower. Attractive to a multitude of pollinators, it is a favorite source of nectar for the rare Karner Blue butterfly. It strongly prefers full sun and dry sandy soil, where it will thrive along with other low-growing species. This biennial self-seeds readily on open soil but is not overly aggressive.
