Mimulus ringens
Alleghany Monkey Flower 

  • This small native perennial has pale pink summer flowers that resemble snapdragons.

  • It grows best in full sun or part shade and moist to wet soil.

  • It will spread over time through self-seeding and creeping rhizomes.

  • Plants are narrow and sparse and look more at home in a woodland setting than a typical garden, but the flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinators.

  • Deer resistant.
