Monarda 'Elegant Rose' is a vigorous and unique-looking hardy perennial that will add a splash of colour to wildlife gardens and herbaceous borders. Rigid, vertical stems boast interesting whorls of red-pink tubular blooms with a darker centre dome. Adored by butterflies and bees and will flower almost continuously from midsummer to autumn, if deadheaded regularly. These beautiful blooms make a superb cut flower in a vase display and the fragrant, citrusy foliage can be added to salads or dried to make potpourri. This reliable and free-flowering variety will be happy in full sun or dappled shade and will thrive in a variety of soil types. The 'Elegant' series is a more compact plant with improved resistance to mildew than older monarda cultivars. Culinary note: Use the dried leaves to make Bergamot tea or use the sweet, spicy flavoured petals to enhance salads, jellies, rice or pasta dishes.

Growing Information

Pot up Monarda plugs and grow them on in cool, frost free conditions until they are large enough to be transplanted into their final positions outside. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days. Bergamot plants dislike soils which are particularly dry or have a tendency to waterlogging. Plant them in a moist, well drained soil, adding compost or well rotted manure to amend excessively heavy clay or sandy soils. Choose a position in sun, semi shade or dappled shade.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Suttons products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days.
