Sugar Buzz Bee Balm
Best compact perennial for attracting pollinators in small garden spaces.
This is the rare perennial that actually delivers on its promise of mildew resistance without sacrificing those vibrant, pollinator-friendly blooms. It’s a low-effort way to bring serious texture and fragrance to your garden, though you’ll have to accept that its upright, tidy habit means it won't sprawl wildly like traditional varieties.
