Monkey Flower Twinkle Mix

Monkey flowers (Mimulus ringens) are native North American wildflowers that thrive in zones 3 through 9. The 1 ½ inch (4 cm.) flowers have an upper petal with two lobes and a lower petal with three lobes. The blossoms are often spotted and multicolored and the overall appearance resembles a monkey’s face. Taking care of monkey flowers is easy as long as they get plenty of moisture. They thrive in full sun or partial shade. In addition, the monkey flower plant is an important larval host for Baltimore and Common Buckeye butterflies. These lovely butterflies lay their eggs on the foliage, which provides an immediate food source once the caterpillars hatch.
