Streamside Monkey Flower |
As the name implies, this Monkey Flower naturally grows along streams throughout Southern California. It blooms vigorously on stems 2'-3' tall. It acts as both an annual and perennial. Seeds travel through the water so it can be very invasive. It is a beautiful plant but make sure that it is planted in the proper area. It requires water to survive and is not drought tolerant.
