Scarlet beebalm, also known as Oswego tea, Scarlet monarda

Bee Balm (Monarda didyma) is a perennial plant known for its striking bright-red flowers that bloom on stems up to 91 cm tall, making it a favorite among hummingbirds. The plant's leaves have a distinctive minty aroma and were used by the Oswego people to brew tea, a practice they shared with early European settlers in the New York region.
