Diplacus (Mimulus) bifidus ‘White’, White Monkeyflower

This elegant perennial monkeyflower has extra frilly, creamy-white, azalea-like flowers, with soft yellow throats. The abundant blossoms stand out against the slender, deep green foliage and bloom over a long period from late spring into fall. It will get about 2 ft. tall and 3 ft. wide. Plant in sun to light shade with good drainage and occasional summer water. Hummingbirds, bees and butterflies are all drawn to the flowers and it is a larval food source for checkerspot and painted lady butterflies. Great in a container. Deer usually leave it alone as they dislike the stickiness of the foliage.
