The pure red 'Jacob Kline' beebalm is growing along the alley-side of the garage next to purple 'Marshall's Delight' beebalm. 'Jacob Kline's' is the taller of the two beebalms. It also has larger blossoms than does 'Marshall's Delight' & begins blooming two to four weeks earlier. It is regarded as the best of the red beebalms. Red is the favorite color of hummingbirds, who already like bee balms a great deal, & most apt to be drawn to this one. This variety is named for the chap who developed it for large brilliantly red especially long-lasting flowers &, in particular, for resistance to powdery mildew, which is the bane of bee balms. 'Jacob Kline' is said to be the most resistant of all the reds, but frankly no variety is apt indefinitely to avoid at least a mild affliction, if only in autumn when it is getting ready to die back anyway.
