Description

A perennial with 1" orange flowers. Ours in the nursery have been here for 10 years. They like partial shade and look better with little water. It's normally 3-4 feet tall. Cold tolerant to 12-15 degrees F., in the ground with no damage; froze to the ground at 0-5 degrees F., but came right back. Monkeyflower is a HUMMINGBIRD PLANT and has been deer proof in all areas to date. Monkeyflower goes dormant in summer if you have a hot dry climate. It will grow in any soil including serpentine as long as it has drainage and is not overwatered. The new Jepson Manual combines many monkeyflowers under the moniker Mimulus aurantiacus. They are not even remotely the same in horticulture. Most if not all Mimulus spp. need water,(R type); most Diplacus species are drought tolerant (C type). Some tolerate full sun, and some full shade. Find some way to specify the monkey flower for your area.
