Mimulus
cardinalis * Cardinal Monkey Flower, Scarlet Monkey Flower
|
Mimulus cardinalis is a
great wetland plant that can find its way in many gardens. Mimulus cardinalis is the perfect
plant for the low end of a lawn or just a boggy location
in the yard. Mimulus cardinalis is a streamside native. It will grow in sun or shade as long
as there is enough moisture. The crown of the Scarlet Monkey
Flower needs to be above the waterline and then it can grow
in a pond setting as well. Scarlet Monkey Flower plant go dormant in
the Winter. It is blooming
nearly continuously from late spring until well into the fall. I
divide my Mimulus cardinalis plant in the winter while they are dormant.
