Why some shipping routes differ

Live plants are pickup only June 1–September 30. Plugs and potted plants cannot use our shipping path to AZ, CA, HI, ID, NV, OR, UT, or WA; pickup may remain available. Soil-free bare root plants may ship to those states during March 1–May 31 when all remaining rules pass. Montana plug and potted-plant arrivals must be October 1–May 31.

We choose neem oil and lower-impact plant care instead of routinely drenching our greenhouse with lab-manufactured pesticides. We are exploring a screened growing house that may expand future shipping options.

About the Product

Pardon My Rose puts intense rose-pink bee balm flowers, 2.5 to 3 inches across, on a plant only a little over a foot tall. The blooms open in midsummer and continue into late summer.

Its bushy, well-branched clump spreads slowly but stays manageable, which makes it handy for the front of the border and for containers. It has good powdery mildew resistance, and the semi-glossy leaves smell minty when brushed. Hummingbirds, butterflies and bees visit steadily.

What it looks like

Large, shaggy flower heads 2.5 to 3 inches across are made of long, tubular florets in intense rose pink, radiating on pink-tinged bracts just above the leaves. Leaves are opposite, oval to lance-shaped, medium green and semi-glossy with toothed margins. The plant forms a bushy, well-branched clump about 14 to 18 inches tall and 22 to 28 inches wide. At peak bloom the rose-pink heads cover the top of the medium green mound.

Growing it with lavender

Bee balm prefers richer, more evenly moist soil than lavender, so set it in a neighboring bed with better soil and regular water, where its rose-pink heads carry on the summer color and bee traffic near your lavender.

Care

Give it full sun to part shade, average to fertile soil and plenty of water; it performs best where air moves freely around the plant. Hardy in zones 4-8. Snip off faded flower heads to keep it neat, and divide every few years if the center thins.

When it arrives

Your plug tray

Plugs arrive in active growth. Water the tray right away, set it in bright light out of harsh wind, and plant within a few days. If you wait, bump them into 3–4" pots. Harden off for a week before planting out, and keep the root ball moist the first 3–4 weeks.
