That being said, there was a nice big clump of Monarda punctata at a demonstration garden I used to volunteer for. So possibly the named varieties are more fussy than the wild one.

Monarda punctata... is a different animal from those water-luvin invasive stoloniferous monardas (‎Monarda didyma)

Monarda punctata is a dryland plant that increases through seeds.


Those stoloniferous types grow in the dry sand for me (in middle GA), but don't bloom much... they do much better in a nice clay bottom ditch...
