Southern Monkeyflower
Southern Monkeyflower is a small sub- shrub that grows 1-3′ tall.
The tubular flowers are lighter colored compared to our local sticky monkey flower that varies from light orange to yellow.
A little shade bit of summer water will keep it more attractive and it will flower for months and months. Dead heading will prolong flowering time but shorten the life if the plant.
As with the other monkey flowers it is a great addition to a bird and butterfly garden and deer tend to not eat it.
