Upscale®
Taller than most other new introductions on the market, the UPSCALE® collection average 2-2½' tall and wide with flowering performance that covers the top half of the plant. This series is excellent for landscape plantings and filling space in the middle of the border. Well branched stems support a second flush of flowers that extends the length of bloom. 'Red Velvet' has large cherry red flowers. Newly emerging foliage has a bronze cast.

Full sun is best, but light shade is tolerated. Plants tend to spread more quickly in the shade. Most monardas multiply rapidly either by underground stems or self-sowing. Deadheading spent blooms will prolong the bloom time. To prevent powdery mildew, large clumps should be thinned out so that the air circulates freely around them.
