Monarda plant named `petite delight`

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of perennial Monarda or Bee-Balm plant is provided that exhibits a unique dwarf stature and good winter hardiness. The blossoms exhibits an attractive light pink-purple to light purple coloration (as illustrated). Dense dark green and glossy foliage is formed that contrasts well with the blossom coloration. The low-growing growth habit of the new variety can readily be distinguished from that of the `Marshalls Delight` variety (non-patented in the United States).

We claim: 
     
       1. A new distinct variety of Monarda plant having the following combination of characteristics: (a) forms attractive light pink-purple to light purple blossoms,   (b) exhibits attractive dense dark green and glossy foliage,   (c) exhibits a dwarf growth habit that can be readily distinguished from that of the `Marshall's Delight` variety, and   (d) exhibits good winter hardiness; substantially as herein shown and described.
