Pairs well with

Raspberry Wine opens wine-red flowers from raspberry buds on stems that reach 3 to 4 feet, and the foliage stays clean when other bee balms grey out with mildew. Monarda Raspberry Wine is a native selection growing 2 to 3 feet wide in full sun to part sun, hardy from Zone 4 through Zone 9.

Bloom comes in midsummer in shaggy tubular heads, and hummingbirds feed at them steadily. Bees and butterflies come to them too, and the foliage feeds hummingbird clearwing moth caterpillars.

The leaves are aromatic, releasing a mint-like scent when crushed, which is what keeps deer off it.

Bee balm grows wild in moist meadows and along stream edges, so it wants consistent moisture and takes wet ground. Full sun and room for air movement give the best mildew resistance, and crowding is what brings it on. It spreads by runners into a wider clump, so divide every few years.

I ordered 2 native plants both arrived on time and with one exception- not under control of vendor- as expected- I’ll check how to deal with this one plant abs and hope it’s resolved and resilient- decent value otherwise and keep it native. -

I've received four roses from Spotswood Greenery and each won has been a big, healthy, beautiful plant. Shipping is super quick and prices are reasonable. I'm super satisfied and will be ordering many more!

Exceptional Roses

EXCEPTIONAL ROSES!

Recently, I received a #3 pot Wollerton Old Hall Rose, a #3 Alnwick Rose, and a #2 pot Sweet Mademoiselle rose from Spotswood Greenery. I could not be more pleased and grateful. All plants are in perfect condition. Each is supported by incredibly healthy roots, several Charles Atlas-like stems, and beautiful foliage. Packaging was very secure. Clearly done with care! Shipping was quite prompt. Now, pricing! I've grown roses for 40 of my 67 years. In that time, it's easy for me to say that Spotswood has exceeded every other source without question. I found three roses in stock I had wanted! The quality is champion! The prices are very good, excellent when one buys at the free shipping level! Worth every penny! Thank you, every one, on the Spotswood Greenery Team!

I just received my hypericum red fame and was amazed how big it was and just as pretty as my established one I have had a couple years. So happy because the last one I ordered online from another nursery came as a little stub compared to this! I will definitely use Spotswood Greenery for now on!

Quick shipping

Bought a David Austin rose; it arrived quickly however it had some damage upon arrival. Ended up pruning and defoliating a good bit to get rid of the broken cane and pest damage, but I expect it to be a beautiful bush down the road.

Comfortable ordering process

The information and accuracy of the description of the ordered plants was great. The ability to search for specific plants was nice. Could search for terms not pre-defined and still came up with relevant specimens.

The online ordering process went smoothly.

I ordered ~8 David Austin roses from here. They were equal in quality to the ones at my local nurseries (better than some), and $10 cheaper. Established roots, full of buds that have become gorgeous blooms. Will absolutely order from Spotswood again!

Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Space 18–24 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch lightly. Good air circulation at planting time helps reduce powdery mildew.

Care Tips

Water regularly throughout the growing season. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued bloom and prevent excessive self-seeding. Cut to the ground in late fall or early spring. Divide every 2–3 years in spring when the center of the clump begins to die out. Monitor for powdery mildew in late summer- this variety has improved resistance, but good air circulation always helps. The rich, deep raspberry-wine red flowers are produced over a long season and are highly attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies.
