Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Thanks to the patient breeding of the late, great Richard Persoff, the gardening world can enjoy this flamboyant and garden friendly Mimulus hybrid. Profuse, eye-popping, amber-red, 2” blooms edged in gold appear year-round along the coast and Spring-Fall in hottest areas. Branching 18”x18” with glossy, emerald leaves, it’s reliably showy in low fertility, native or rock gardens and phenomenal in a container (10+ gal). Very tolerant of heat and zero Summer moisture, but will stay green and bloomy with some Summer water. Tolerates clay-ish soil but best in well-drained. Butterflies and hummers! Deer resistant. Hardy to 20 °F.
