description for "Herbs: Monarda 'Violet Queen'"
'Violet Queen' bears profuse lavender-violet flowers that continue for many weeks late in summer. An easy non-fussy grower. Stunning! A large clump of 'Violet Queen' in full flower will be the highlight of your summer garden. The flowers are highly attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds and the fuzzy green foliage has excellent mildew resistance. 'Violet Queen' like other Monarda varieties enjoys fertile garden soils. Mulch well and water regularly to keep the soil moist. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
