Is the bee balm an aggressive grower?

Bee balm (Monarda) can be considered an aggressive grower, as it tends to spread quickly through rhizomes and self-seeding. While this can be beneficial for filling garden spaces, it may outcompete other plants if not managed properly. Regular maintenance, such as deadheading and division, can help control its spread and keep it in check. Overall, its vigorous growth can be both an advantage and a challenge in garden settings.
