    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Oh my orangey goodness! I’m a sucker for anything with an orange bloom & this Chilean native, with 1” tubular flowers boasts the perfect shade of flaming orange. In its natural habitat, Mimulus cupreus likes to hang near bogs, marshes & lake shores, making it perfect for edges of ponds & water features! Great in containers, too! Abundant bloomer late Spring through Summer, especially if you occasionally cut the plants back to rejuvenate growth. Toothy, emerald, oval leaves. To 2’ x 2’. Bait for snails.
