This is a popular seed strain of scarlet beebalm that is known to produce those scarlet red blooms that hummingbirds love. If you’re an artist, you’re already aware of the fact that “red” encompasses a wide range of colors. Magenta is red. Pink is red. Brick orange is red. When you grow from seed, you never know which one you’re going to get until it blooms.
This seed strain basically helps to ensure that the red you get is more like what you’re imagining you’d get, but without having to buy a cultivar. It’s the best of both worlds. You get a little bit more of a guarantee – not 100% guarantee since they are, after all, seed-grown – and genetic diversity.
These come in true gallon pots with three genetically different plants per pot. True gallon is slightly larger than a nursery gallon. There will likely be a mix of different shades of red in each pot. Plant them together and let them spread to attract those hummingbirds to your garden.
