Small, lavender-blue, snapdragon-like flowers from June to August and lance-shaped, toothed, mid-green leaves. This charming Allegheny monkey flower is perfect for planting around the margins of a garden pool. Coping well in full sun or partial shade, Mimulus ringens can happily be grown in reliably moist or boggy soil, or in shallow shallow water up to 15cm (6") deep.
If using as a boggy/marginal aquatic, plant out in reliably moist or boggy soil, or pot up into a pond basket and place at the margins of a pond at a depth of 0-15cm (0-6"). Prune at any time during the growing season. Removing seed heads encourages new flowers to form.
