Diplacus puniceus - Red Monkey Flower

Market price from $5.85 to $8.75

Diplacus puniceus is an incredibly hardy evergreen shrub that earns its common name of Red Monkey Flower from its vibrant, scarlet red, tubular blooms. As a native Californian, this attractive and robust perennial embraces both full sun and partial shade, and showcases its bold charm from late winter to early summer. Standing at an easy-to-manage height of 1 to 3 feet, the Red Monkey Flower pairs its showy blossoms with glossy green leaves—an appealing contrast that creates a luminous natural spectacle. Not only is this shrub a visually intriguing splendor, but it's also a smart addition to any garden given its drought-tolerant nature, particularly perfect for xeriscape layouts, or areas with low water access. And as a bonus, this Red Monkey Flower is a veritable hummingbird hotspot, making it as much a boon to nature lovers as it is to seasoned gardeners or novice plant enthusiasts. With its no-fuss care requirements and breathtaking visual display, the Diplacus puniceus effortlessly combines practicality with natural beauty.
