July 13, 2019A.That appears to be Monarda fistulosa, also known as wild bergamot and bee balm. It is usually grown in full sun; blooms in July and has problems with powdery mildew. There are cultivars with red blooms. Here is an article on caring for your bergamot. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/bee-balm/controlling-bee-balm-plants.htm

May 25, 2020A.There are several types of bee balm. I keep my plant tags because I forget the details sometimes. If you know what type of bee balm you have, use the internet to search for bee balm images. I often specify plant leaves. Bee balm care and a link to pictures follows:

OldhamQ.Will My Monarda Recover From Wind Damage
Stems bent and broken. Was 3 ft high. If I cut it back to the ground will it grow again this year?

Certified ExpertA.Just cut the broken stems below the damage, or if they are all damaged, cut them back to about 6 inches. Since it is often recommended to cut them back so they won't be so tall, I would think you should still get some blooms this year. It may depend on the variety.

Certified ExpertA.You can spray the top and bottom of your leaves with Neem oil. It affects the pests when they chew into the leaves. It is safe for pollinators.
