Additional Information: Lemon Beebalm is a fragrant native wildflower known for its lavender to pinkish-purple flowers arranged in tiered whorls along a tall central stem. Its distinct citrus-like scent makes it a favorite for pollinators, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds throughout its bloom period. This species thrives in dry prairies, open fields, and disturbed areas, where it reseeds readily and naturalizes well. It is particularly valued in pollinator gardens, wildflower meadows, and xeriscaping, where it provides long-lasting blooms and aromatic foliage. With its unique floral structure, pleasant scent, and adaptability, Lemon Beebalm is a standout addition to native plant landscapes.
