my favorite monarda. I love how early it blooms and the smaller mounding habit

I just found a few clumps of this variety in our mountain woods! We’re in western NC and it’s not considered native here so I hadn’t come across it before in my garden research. But of course plants don’t respect state lines and it’s considered native in TN, just a few miles away. I look forward to collecting a few seeds to plant some a little closer to the house. It had come up in a spot that was getting a little more light the last couple years after a lot of trees came down in Helene.
It’s such a beautiful variety and seems to make very cute little clumps. Yours is so lovely!
