Mimulus aurantiacus

Mimulus aurantiacus, commonly known as ‘sticky monkey-flower’, is part of the Phrymaceae family and is prized for its tubular, nectar-rich blooms that attract hummingbirds and pollinators. Native to warm, dry regions, it thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and moderate fertility, showing excellent drought and heat tolerance. Perfect for rock gardens, mixed containers, and sunny borders, Mimulus provides long-lasting seasonal color with minimal care.
