Sierra bush monkeyflower
Azalea-flowered monkeyflower is a low growing evergreen sub-shrub that grows to about 2′ tall and wide.
There is no mistake in this variety name as this smallish shrub packs on a floristic punch. During the spring through fall it will be covered in large pale apricot flowers. These flowers also attract the common checkerspot and buckeye butterflies.
It will do well planted in a large pot as we as on a nice slope or mound.
