No bees visit Monarda 'Jacob Cline'
Does anyone here grow Monarda 'Jacob Cline'? This is the only variety I've
ever experienced that attracts absolutely NO bees or butterflies....never in the three years I've grown it. (It does, however, attract Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.) This is a beautiful plant, very PM resistant, with huge deep red flowers and a long bloom season. I'm really curious about the lack of insect pollinators (except some moth, it seems, that lays eggs so its larvae can mutilate the blooms....), since bee balm is normally a major attractant. And yes, I've got lots of bees of many species. Best, Tyra nNJ usa z7 |
