Monarda

I tried this, but it developed dreadful mildew. It didn't survive, so I just put it down to experience. Shame, though - it's a lovely plant.

Never seen a bright red one like this...smashing. You do like red in your borders don't you Mum!

This has done well after a few years of not doing much at all Melchi, think it must be the rain that has made it flourish.

I love red in the garden Karen, but I do have blue campanulas and orange and yellow daylillies and crocosmia, there are the Inulas in this border too and the Lysimachias which are yellow, just that the red is so vibrant just now.

Beautiful colour, just noticed our Monarda is getting mildew bum!!

Oh that is a pain Dd. shame because they do give lots of colour at this time of year. They will recover maybe for next season. These are getting better each year. :O)

That's fabulous :)

Thank you Waddy :O)
