Mimulus Mai Tai 'Orange' (Mimulus Mai Tai 'Orange', syn. Diplacus Mai Tai 'Orange') is a vivaciously colorful, heat-tolerant monkey flower that brings a bold, warm, saturated orange to the summer garden with a freely branching, prolific flowering habit and an exuberant, tropical energy that makes it one of the most cheerful and rewarding shrubby perennials for sunny, well-drained positions. The Mai Tai series is bred specifically for outstanding heat tolerance and prolific, long-season flower production — a meaningful advance over older, more cool-season-dependent mimulus selections that would fade and decline in the heat of summer — and 'Orange' delivers that improved performance in a vivid, pure, warm orange that radiates sunny warmth and visual energy from every bloom through the full growing season. Each flower has the characteristic monkey-face tubular form of the mimulus genus, adding a delightful botanical personality to the vivid orange color display.

This professional-grade 4" plant arrives with a healthy, well-established root system cultivated through professional horticultural practices — ready to establish and grow into its full, freely branching shrubby form. 'Orange' excels in mixed perennial and annual borders, coastal gardens, Mediterranean-style landscapes, patio containers, and sunny slopes where its vivid warm-orange flowers deliver sustained, heat-resilient color from late spring through fall. It is particularly stunning combined with deep burgundy, golden yellow, and cobalt-blue companions for richly layered, warm-toned summer border compositions of genuine seasonal energy and visual excitement.

  • Vivid, Pure Warm Orange Monkey Flower Blooms: Tubular, monkey-faced flowers in a vivid, pure warm orange of real color presence are produced in generous, prolific abundance on freely branching stems — a cheerful, sun-drenched orange that radiates tropical warmth and visual energy in sunny borders, containers, and coastal garden plantings throughout the season.
  • Mai Tai Series Heat-Tolerant Performance: Bred for outstanding heat tolerance and prolific long-season flowering — a significant advance over older cool-season mimulus selections — the Mai Tai series delivers vigorous, sustained bloom performance through the hottest summer months when standard mimulus varieties would fade and decline.
  • Freely Branching Shrubby Habit: The naturally well-branched, freely flowering shrubby form fills mixed borders, container arrangements, and slope plantings with a lush, colorful, continuously blooming presence — a tidy, attractive, self-supporting habit that requires minimal staking or management throughout the season.
  • Hummingbird & Pollinator Magnet: The tubular, nectar-rich orange monkey flowers are powerfully attractive to hummingbirds, native bees, and beneficial insects throughout the long bloom season — making 'Orange' one of the most ecologically valuable and wildlife-rich flowering perennials for sunny, warm-season garden designs.
  • Drought Tolerant Once Established: As a California coastal native relative, 'Orange' develops good drought resilience once established in suitable well-drained conditions — a practically self-sufficient, low-maintenance warm-season performer for water-wise, Mediterranean-style, and coastal garden designs where sustained color with minimal resources is the priority.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun to light partial shade with well-drained, average to lean soil; avoid consistently wet conditions and heavy clay — excellent drainage is important for long-term plant health and vigor. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce to moderate supplemental irrigation. USDA Hardiness Zones 8–11; grown as a warm-season annual or tender perennial in cooler climates. Mature height: 18–24 inches; spread: 18–24 inches. Bloom time: late spring through fall. Trim back lightly after the main bloom flush to encourage fresh growth and a renewed wave of prolific flowering through the remainder of the season.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days.

For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.
