monkeyflower
This monkeyflower hybrid is a selection from plant breeder Richard Persoff, part of his trade marked Jelly Bean series. Selected for its large and frilly, brick-red blossoms edged in orange, on compact plants 18 inches to 2 feet tall and wide. Valued for their long bloom, monkeyflowers perform best with good drainage and sun to light shade. Drought tolerant, but some occasional summer water is helpful. Monkeyflowers benifit from pinching to produce a nice shape and strong structure to hold the abundant blossoms. Highly attractive to bees and hummingbirds. Deer resisitant.
