A showy perennial with clusters of bright red, tubular flowers which are attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies.
The common name: Bergamot is somewhat misleading. Though teas can be made from Monarda leaves, the Bergamot in Earl Grey Tea is derived from an oil extracted from the rind of Citrus bergamia, a citrus native to Southeast Asia.
