Bee Balm - Purple Rooster
Monarda (Bee Balm) Purple Rooster, Monarda didyma 'Purple Rooster', is a clump-forming plant of the mint family. ‘Purple Rooster’ will really “strut its stuff” in the landscape with its deep wine colored flowers that appear as raspberries in bud stage. This Bee Balm is easy to grow, multiplies quickly, and is native of eastern North America; has minty aromatic foliage often used to flavor teas multiplies quickly. The purple flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees to the garden. Bee Balm has a tendency to become invasive, so in order to keep plants healthy and vigorous, division is necessary every few years, and should be done in the spring.  Although it will grow in average soil, it does enjoy the rich organic moist soil along riverbanks.   In spring, remove dead foliage only.  In fall, cut back to 6 and dead-head spent flowers.  Deadheading spent blooms will prolong the bloom time. ‘Purple Rooster’ will offer its extravagant presence when planted in your garden! * Easy to grow * Aromatic foliage * Invasive

Clematis is easy to grow in a rich, porous, alkaline soil with plenty of room for the roots to spread. Best performance is when the tops are in full sunlight and the roots are shaded, so apply generous mulch or a shallow-rooted ground cover near the base of the vine. Groom this plant after first flowering by cutting back the top one-third to one-half of some stems. Clematis 'Kilian Donahue' is a very reliable performer once established; it takes a season or two to get going!
