Why choose native plants? Pacific Northwest native plants know how to live here and how to thrive here. They often need much less water and less fertilizer. They spread slowly and are not invasive. They support a wide diversity of wildlife. And best of all, they look great!<\/p>\n
Also known as seep-spring monkey flower (and formerly classified as Mimulus guttatus<\/i>. Occurs across western North America from northern Canada to Mexico, and can be found in both coastal and inland locations. It is consistently associated with wet locations such as pond edges, or even growing directly in water as a fully aquatic plant with floating foliage. It has lobed, deep-yellow flowers with red inner spots that readily attract bumble bees, which force their way into the inner reaches of the flowers. Individual plants may be as small as just a few inches in height, or sprawling masses of more than 2 feet arising from creeping networks of rhizomes. A great choice for rain gardens and bioswales, or even in urban areas with polluted storm water runoff. In conditions that it really likes, it can be extremely prolific, but even under less than optimal conditions it can co-exist reasonably well with other wetland emergent vegetation, such as sedges. Flowers from March \u2013 September. Grows to 2 feet tall. Part shade to full sun. Photo courtesy of Northwest Meadowscapes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
