They spread quickly also. I planted my first ones last year, and was amazed a how much they sprawled over the coneflowers and black eye susans.

I was begining to tidy my garden by getting rid of some of the weeds, and dead plant material when I saw a large mat of weeds towards the center. Before taking care of them, I went into the garage to get a bag. On the way into the garage, I notice the same mat of weeds in another area. I was pretty sure that I hadn't seen these weeds before that day so it was somewhat puzzling. Just as I grabbed a handful to yank out, I realized that it was the monarda coming up!

I'm so happy that I didn't pull them out. This is Jacob Cline last year.
