From red to white?

Here is a picture of my red monarda last summer:

and here is a picture of my red monarda THIS summer:

This is the SAME plant. :shock:

I never bought a white monarda. Last year it was abundant and red and beautiful, and this year it's mangy and white. Any idea what could have caused this?

Is it possible that it could have self seeded and come up different to the parent plant?
