Help with an ID. Probably easy. :-)

Got this at a local hardware/garden center and nobody could ID it. It was $8 and thought it looked cool and have plenty of different spots to put it in, but need to figure out the specifics (full, partial or shade/soil).

Any help would be great!

Steams are ~4 feet

bee balm -- great plant! Likes full sun, but pretty adaptable will do fine in half day sun areas. Not too fussy about soil, pretty drought tolerant, all in all an easy going, low maintenance plant. And hummingbirds love them.
