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. Brilliant 1-2” orange-throated, dark rosey pink flowers edged in white bloom almost non-stop all year! Thriving on drought and neglect, this ultra-showy California native evergreen shrub grows to a woody 2’ tall and wide with dark, shiny green leaves. Flowering most abundantly from earliest Spring into Summer – the show will continue throughout the year with deadheading and occasional water. Be sure to provide good drainage and keep watering to a minimum once established. Loved by hummers, bees, and butterflies. Prune to about 1’ in Winter for best form.
