A prairie classic with beautiful lavender-pink flower heads that bloom for weeks in midsummer. The aromatic foliage smells like oregano when crushed. Bumblebees absolutely love this plant, and hummingbirds visit it regularly. Spreads to form attractive colonies in average to dry soils. Far more drought tolerant than red beebalm.
