It is a cheery, bright, pink cultivar reported to be mildew resistant. This is the second year in my garden and it looks great so far this year. Foliage has a wonderful fragrance. Will see how long a bloom season I get from it as I planted it mid season last year. No powdery mildew to date. I grow it in a raised bed and did add some water crystals to the planting hole when I planted it, as plants around it are more drought tolerant. I've read 'Marshall's Delight' was selected from the Chicago Botanic Garden's Plant Evaluation Program as an outstandlng Perennial for Midwest gardens so I'd think it would do well in your growing zone.

So far this spring, it's currently about 12 inches high. I'm expecting it to remain fairly short for a Bee Balm, as we experience high winds and heavy rainstorms throughout the growing season and tall plants get beaten down in my garden. I tried Raspberry Wine and it really drew the hummingbirds but it was too tall and I fought powdery mildew all season so I removed it.

Also grow Monarda 'Fireball', a shorter plant with wine red blooms and it, too, is doing well for me.

Best of luck with your selection. Please come back and let us know what you decide to plant and how well it performs for you.
