This native wildflower is a cornerstone of prairie mixes because it is a reliable bloomer, and draws in pollinators of all stripes. It does have a minty aroma, but It is not the same Bergamot used in Earl Grey Tea. This perennial produces honey that is reddish in color. Besides being a popular choice for making herbal tea, this plant once had a place in many homes as a sweet scented potpourri. The essential oils in its leaves also made it an excellent flavoring for both foods and beverages. Because of its many uses and its stunning blossoms, the Herb Society of America gave this plant the 2013 Notable Native Herb award. The genus name Monarda honors Spanish botanist Nicolas Bautista Monardes, who studied herbal and medicinal plants from North America during the 16th century. The species name "fistulas" comes from a Latin word meaning "tubular," referring to the shape of each flower's many spikes.
