Hello!
This is the first full year of my new pollinator bed. I need adjust some of the planting, and, obviously, I let the red monarda get too leggy, but I\'m just glad it\'s fully in bloom! I also put in echinacea, coreopsis, salvia, sedum, gaura, and buddleia.

Question: I\'ll deadhead the red bee balm, but if I cut it back this blooming season will it come in thicker or do I need to wait until next spring for that?

Thank you! Abbie
