Cultivar Comments: 'Claire Grace'™ is a particular showy, powdery mildew resistant cultivar of Monarda fistulosa. Like several other Monarda species, M. fistulosa makes an
excellent cut flower. This plant is also a great addition to any pollinator garden because it attracts birds, hummingbirds
and butterflies. The plant is also highly deer resistant. In the wild this plant is found growing in dry open woods, fields, wet meadows and ditches. M. fistulosa
will grow in a variety of soil conditions but is not tolerant of flooding.
