Monarda recommendations

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago

I have heavy, sometimes wet-in-winter soil, and most of my garden is in more than half day shade. Monarda is one of the things that thrives here, and I like when it spreads.

'Raspberry Wine' grows great for me, but in my part-shade garden, it can get a good five feet tall. I'd like to find a nice-blooming spreader that would get about 2 - 2 1/2 feet tall. (I'm guessing it would be shorter in a full sun garden.) I'd prefer a deep pink to purple shade rather than red (have 'Jacob Cline') or lavender.

A lot of the new ones say they won't spread, and I'd almost prefer one that does.

Any suggestions?
