What is This Mint Family Perennial?
 
I have this mint family perennial blooming with a larger flower in a
richer deeper pink than any mint I can remember ever seeing:

I'd never noticed a monarda without the "crown" arrangement of bent
florets, but now that you mention it, I wonder if this is 'Petite Wonder'
which I had put in the ground as a poorly rooted start some while back &
had thought it dried up & died.

Monarda 'Petite Wonder'

It looks like a match to me.
