Burgundy-red flowers.
Shrubby Mimulus reveling in drier conditions in milder gardens like that south rock wall on Capitol Hill in Seattle. Luscious flowers of Take Me Now Maroon in mid to late summer backed by nearly viscous evergreen foliage. Like ACDC's song "I've got the Jack" it's hard not to share this.
