monkeyflower
This beauty appeared in a Willit's garden, a chance seedling near plantings of multiple monkeyflower hybrids. Standing out with it's large, flaring trumpets of orangy-apricot, it has proven to be a vigorous and willing grower. Growing up to 3 ft. tall and wide, in full sun to light shade and good drainage. Best with occasional deep watering in the summer and pinching to form good support for the abundant flowers. Bees, butterflies and hummingbirds work the flowers and the painted lady and checkerspot butterflies use it as a larval food source. Deer resistant.
