I was wondering if anyone has grown Jacob Cline Beebalm? I just purchased some and wondered if they are as impressive as the pictures you see on line. I am planting them in combination with Gooseneck Loosestrife. I think the Red and White contrast should make an impressive display, especially after a few years and both have filled in an have become established. I have grown the Loosestrife for many years but have never had Beebalm. Any suggestions are welcome!

Here's a view of 'Jacob Cline' from the other side -- the Echinacea 'White Swan' will make this REALLY pretty when they open up:

Here we go. With the White Swans. The drought isn't helping, some of the bud stems are droopy.

'Coral Reef' opened. The clear color may be a Monarda trait. This one's lipstick pink, and it's shorter -- about 3' vs. 4'.
