As the name implies, this Monkey Flower naturally grows along streams throughout Southern California. It blooms vigorously on stems 2'-3' tall. It acts as both an annual and perennial. Seeds travel through the water so it can be very invasive. It is a beautiful plant but make sure that it is planted in the proper area. It requires water to survive and is not drought tolerant.
Planting: 1. Dig a hole 1" less the depth and 2 times the width of the container. 2. Fill hole with water, let soak. 3. Set root ball in hole. 4. Fill hole halfway with native soil and water. 5. Finish back filling hole, build basin and water.
