Does anyone with some of this M. didyma (red) want to make a trade for some M. fistulosa (Wild Bergamot)?

Seed won't be ready to harvest until at least October.

Mine has the potential to grow 5' but can be cut back and shaped to be about 3' x 3'. Flowers are lavender.

Thanks,

Vera

Vera,
I have a lot of red Monarda 'Gardenview Scarlet'. I need to thin it out because it is crowding out my other plants. I can pull out a bunch and mail them to you for postage. It is very easy. Email me if interested. I love this Monarda. Smells great in the breeze.
