Mimulus aurantiacus, Diplacus aurantiacus

Prepare for months of golden sunshine! Sticky monkeyflower brings cheerful orange to yellow tubular flowers that hummingbirds absolutely cannot resist. This native gem blooms almost year-round in mild climates.

The bright, trumpet-shaped flowers seem to glow against the sticky, aromatic foliage. It's like having a hummingbird feeding station that's also incredibly beautiful! The plant forms attractive mounds that look great in naturalized areas or as colorful accents.

This easy-going native thrives in our Mediterranean climate and handles drought conditions with ease. It's perfect for wildlife gardens, slopes, or anywhere you want reliable color. Hummingbird heaven with gorgeous blooms – what's not to love?
