Which native plants have large flowers?

Bee Balm

Bee Balm or Monarda is an excellent native perennial that has excellent flowers. Growing to 4-5 feet tall this vigorous plant is one of the best flowering natives. My favorite is 'Jacob Cline' which is mildew-proof. This plant also attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, and the crushed leaves help eliminate the pain from bee stings. This plant should be planted in full sun to light shade.
