d.PURPLE ROOSTER****

Monarda didyma `Purple Rooster', dark royal-purple, 30-44", June-September. Spectacular dark color! Clear purple at sight! A fantastic 4 star(****)evaluation in 2016, Mt. Cuba Center, DE., with 80%flower cover! EXCELLENT mildew RESISTANCE! Not jus tolerance. The brighter, darker color attracts the most discerning of pollinator's. If they never had "sushi" before they're gonna like it now! Only they're getting a rooster in their "roll-up" instead of tuna! Introduced in 2009 from a David Nedveck of the Flower Farm, Stoughton, Wisconsin. Guess what? David loves roosters! Really! Hence the name! Thanks to David and Walter's Gardens, Zeeland, Michigan in getting this to market! NATIVE! zone4
