Description

This Mimulus hybrid is characterized by its unusually large, white flowers that overpower every other feature of the plant. As with all other dry Mimulus species, it requires well drained soil with very infrequent summer water. In many gardens, it will be treated as an annual. Foliage will grow to 18" high and 18" wide. It should be pruned in the summer to promote growth for the following year.

Water Saving Tip:

Apply as little fertilizer as possible.

If you use fertilizer make sure it stays on the landscape, and carefully water it in so there is NO runoff.
