Pumpkin Monkey Flower

Common name:Pumpkin Monkey Flower
Botanical name:Mimulus 'Pumpkin'

Mimulus 'Pumpkin' is one of the best performing and 'garden tolerant' of the dry Mimulus species/hybrids. Although it still requires well drained soil and drier conditions in most environments, it stays evergreen and can bloom through the year with supplemental summer water when other varieties will die. It reaches 18"-24"and wide; it blooms profusely with two toned, pumpkin orange flowers. It is truly stunning and effective in the garden, especially in mass.

Maintenance Tips

Mimulus 'Pumpkin' is a California native hybrid perennial. It’s grown for its red-orange, tube-like blossoms that are attractive to pollinators, such as bees and hummingbirds. It has thin glossy leaves and can grow up to 2' tall and wide. Flowers will appear on flower stalks for most of the year but will show up in high numbers in the spring and until summer. Throughout the flowering season, just remove flower stalks from the base, as needed, when each stalk has appeared to stop sending out new flowers. In the late summer, you can cut back the foliage by one-third of the current size and remove any additional branches that have died back.

Sweet Pea

Common name:Sweet Pea
Botanical name:Lathyrus odoratus

This is an old-fashioned, all time favorite annual. Sweet Pea is a sweet scented, flowering vine for spring and early summer gardens.
