I'm native to North America but not to NY state
I attract butterflies and bees.
Hummingbirds will also visit my flowers.
I'm the host plant of the Raspberry Pyrausta butterfly
I like to form clumps.
I'm shorter than other native Monardas, so I make a nice flower for your garden.
My leaves can be used in teas.
