monardo punctata
Also called Spotted Bee Balm, prefers sandy soils and full to part sun. An aromatic, erect perennial ranging from only 6 in. to almost 3 ft. tall. Rosettes of yellowish, purple-spotted, tubular flowers occur in whorls, forming a dense, elongated spike at the end of the stem. The blossoms attract honeybees, bumblebees, and many butterflies. The scent of this plant is repugnant to mammalian herbivores so is rarely consumed by them.
