Add item to quote to see pricing

Mimulus ringens is more commonly known as the Allegheny Monkeyflower, a captivating perennial of North American origin. Standout features of this unique botanical delight include its enthralling tube-like lavender-blue blooms, which unfold their beauty from mid-summer to early fall, contributing to a vibrant seasonal display. The Monkeyflower's refreshing verdant foliage sports a light green hue, adorned with tooth-shaped outlines, providing a striking contrast to its radiant flowers. High water usage is a characteristic it comfortably embraces, flourishing in moist conditions near water bodies or in a rain garden. Eager to soak up the sunshine, it thrives in full sun to partial shade, and can attain a height ranging from 2-3 feet. Cultivating the Monkeyflower introduces natural pollinators into your landscape, as its nectar-rich blooms entice a parade of butterflies and hummingbirds. With a modest level of maintenance and resilience in cooler climates, the Allegheny Monkeyflower evolves to be an irresistibly appealing choice for landscapes favoring hardy and wildlife-friendly flora.
