Monarda ‘Pink Supreme’ bears superb bushy pink flowers that form unique twists above clusters of sweetly fragrant foliage. Bergamot, which is often known as Beebalm, is an ideal cut flower for summer bouquets and is a well established favourite in the cottage garden. This specific variety is perfect for the front of borders due to its shorter than average habit and is ideal for attracting bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects to the garden during its long flowering period. Height: 60cm (24″). Spread: 40cm (16″).

Culinary information: Use the dried leaves to make Bergamot tea or use the sweet, spicy flavoured petals to enhance salads, jellies, rice or pasta dishes. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Bergamot plants dislike soils which are particularly dry or have a tendency to waterlogging. Plant them in a moist, well drained soil, adding compost or well rotted manure to amend excessively heavy clay or sandy soils. Choose a position in sun, semi shade or dappled shade.

Feed and water plants regularly until they are fully established. Deadhead faded flower heads to encourage more blooms to be produced. Cut back old foliage in autumn. Apply mulch of well rotted manure around the crown of each plant in spring. Lift and divide clumps of Monarda plants every 3 years in autumn to maintain vigorous, healthy growth.
