Monkey Flower
Mimulus Bees Major
Spectacular, trumpet-shaped, bright golden-yellow blooms boldly blotched maroon-red at the edges of the petals and with finer spots of the same colour in the centre. This is a showy Monkey Flower with deeply serrated, mid-green leaves which provide a lovely backdrop to the vibrant, eye-catching flowers. Excellent for the rockery or peat bed, it also looks stunning when grown beside a pond and incorporates well into rockery gardens. It requires a consistently moist soil and should be watered regularly during periods of dry weather

Please Note: Many perennials go ‘dormant’ which, in some cases, means that there is little or no top growth apparent between November and March. If you order perennials whilst they are dormant, they may not be visible above the soil level when purchased but will burst into life in spring. In the dormant period, we may not have stocks of all varieties in all pot sizes and therefore reserve the right to supply 9cm pots instead of 1 or 2 litre plants and adjust the price down accordingly.
