Sugar Buzz® Rockin’ Raspberry Monarda Plant

Monarda Sugar Buzz® Rockin’ Raspberry is a standout perennial known for its vibrant raspberry-red flowers and robust growth. The large, showy blooms form dense clusters atop sturdy stems, creating a striking display from mid-summer to early fall. Rockin’ Raspberry attracts a variety of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, bringing dynamic activity to your garden. This Monarda variety typically reaches a height of 20-24 inches and spreads about 18-24 inches wide, making it an excellent choice for garden borders, beds, and pollinator gardens. Its dark green, aromatic foliage is resistant to mildew, ensuring the plant remains healthy and attractive throughout the growing season.

Rockin’ Raspberry thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil but can adapt to a range of soil types. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, to maintain its lush growth and prolific blooms. Applying a balanced fertilizer in the spring supports vigorous growth and abundant flowers. Deadheading spent blooms encourages continuous flowering, and cutting back the plant after the blooming season helps maintain its shape and vitality. Rockin’ Raspberry is generally resistant to pests and diseases but should be monitored for common issues like powdery mildew, treatable with appropriate organic or chemical controls.
