Bee Balm (Monarda didyma)

A very good native (or near-native - only cultivars seem to be available) perennial and fairly deer-resistant hummingbird-friendly plant is Monarda didyma, or Bee Balm. Here's a clip of one of our young hummers feeding at this plant. I also have quite a bit of Monarda fistulosa ("wild bergamot") but this gets almost no attention - though it's much easier to grow in my dry and sandy soil.
