Dotted Mint - Monarda
punctata
Quite distinctive and unusual, the
bright lavender and yellow bracts of this
gorgeous plant appear to be flowers but are
actually leaves surrounding the true flowers.This
biennial aromatic plant is a great source of
nectar for butterflies. Naturally occurring in
dry soils or thin woods this showy wildflower
performs well in the garden and also provides
unusual cut flowers.
