Pardon My Cerise Bee Balm

Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Space 12–15 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch lightly. Good air circulation reduces powdery mildew pressure.

Water regularly throughout the growing season. Deadhead spent flowers for continued bloom. Cut to the ground in late fall or early spring. Divide every 2–3 years in spring. Monitor for powdery mildew — Pardon My series has improved mildew resistance. Cerise produces vivid, bright cerise-pink flowers over a long season on a very compact, dwarf plant. The Pardon My series is among the smallest bee balms available — ideal for containers and the very front of the border. Outstanding for hummingbirds and butterflies. Largely otherwise pest-free.
