Lemon Beebalm, Monarda citriodora, also known as Horsemint, is a fragrant annual wildflower native to Texas that brings both beauty and function to the landscape. Its showy pink-lavender flowers bloom from spring through summer and are highly attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. The aromatic foliage has natural insect-repelling qualities, making it a great addition to pollinator gardens, meadows, and low-maintenance native plantings. Allow plants to reseed for reliable returns in future seasons.
