Mimulus ‘Puck’


Monkey Flower

USDA Zone: 6-9

Plant number: 1.364.600


Monkey Flowers are short-lived perennials that are bright and colourful bloomers, especially useful in wet situations. Plants form a bushy clump of fresh green leaves, studded throughout the summer with large snapdragon type flowers. This British selection has bright yellow flowers tinged with nasturtium gold, heavily spotted with red in the throat. A wonderful plant for mixed containers or window boxes, also effective at the pond edge or in a moist border. Remove faded flowers for continual bloom. Attractive to both butterflies and hummingbirds.
