Description: MONKEY FLOWER-The common name comes from the flowers' resemblance to a monkey's face. Typical of wetlands and shady woodlands, this plant needs consistently moist soils and will slowly spread into a bushy plant, attractive in a landscape setting. These are a long lived perennial and get about 2 ft tall and about 1-2 ft wide. The purplish-blue small flowers can sometimes verge on pink or white and will bloom for 1 month or more in mid-summer. Caution-These seeds are very, very small. 400+seeds per order.Some American Native Wildflower seeds need to go through a cold winter to germinate. This plant is one of them. They do this so the seed won’t sprout in fall, only to have the seedling not make it through a cold winter. I have stratified these seeds to simulate a cold winter(stratification) This raises the germination rate considerably. Thanks for looking!!Mimulus ringens.
