Plant Overview

Lovely orange flowers all summer long above compact, neat foliage, this plant is great for a rockery (provided it's not too dry), front of border or pond edge. This is one of the older varieties of Mimulus which has stood the test of time and is robust and hardy.

Happy in sun or shade as long as the soil isn't too dry, this really is a very easy and rewarding plant to grow.

The name Monkey Flower comes from the Latin Mimus, meaning mimic or actor because the flowers resembled a mask. All Mimulus prefer moist soil and shelter from strong winds. The musks mysteriously lost their scent at the beginning of the 20th century - if you discover yours has a scent, please let us know!

Height: 20cm

Common name(s): Monkey flower; Monkey Musk.

All our plants are supplied in 9x10cm pots unless otherwise specified. Plants in this size pot establish quickly in the garden and often outpace plants in bigger pots planted at the same time. Our potted plants can be planted immediately, unless otherwise noted, or you can leave them in their pots until you are ready to plant. We grow almost everything we sell ourselves, in our nursery in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Our prices include VAT at 20%.
