dwarf bee balm?

16 years ago

I bought some DWARF bee balm last year and planted it. This year it is bigger than my raspberry wine(50 feet away)! Today I found 3 tiny(about 6 inches) dwarf bee balms underneath the towering intruder. So what's up with the 3-4' monsters? I didn't plant any other bee balm there. Do Dwarf bee balms sport or revert back to large bee balms? No blooms yet, but the Foliage on the bigguns is much much lighter than the dwarf ones which is really dark. It was supposed to be Petite Delight or Wonder I can't remember. I bought it off eBay and the lady called it Rose Geranium, now that I look it up on her website, it says it grows to a height of 18" (it said 10-12" last year but I digress)even that would be better than the 3-4' towering over and blocking light from my tiny struggling snow fairy CARYOPTERIS bushes. So what's the deal?
