Why do they call it sticky monkeyflower? Well, the leaves are kinda sticky, and the flowers were food for the now extinct California Brown Monkey.....What?!?.....Whether you believe in Bigfoot or not, Sticky Monkeyflower is easily one the prettiest and heavy-flowering native plants California has to offer. Go ahead and try to find anything monkey about this plant, cuz' we can't! Instead, appreciate this plant for what it can do for your garden. Tolerating full sun in cool areas, it might be its prettiest in part-shade, where it can flower for 2 months or almost all-year! Beautiful orangey-yellow flowers cover the plant in Spring, again in Summer if pruned, and sometimes again if pruned correctly. Reaches 2-4 ft high and wide and needs very little Summer water. Attracts hummingbirds like crazy-use under Oak Trees, in a part-shade pot or full sun in cool areas. A very brittle and fast-growing plant, and one of our favorite local natives!
