Pat's Best Monkey Flower (Mimulus Pat's Best) is a charming and resilient evergreen shrub native to California. Often classified as a "Sticky Monkey Flower," this variety features unique, resinous green foliage with an oblong shape that offers a distinctive texture to the landscape. It is highly prized for its cheerful, trumpet-shaped orange blooms that appear in abundance from late summer through autumn.

This variety is a versatile performer, thriving in both full sun and partial shade. Its mounded, bushy habit makes it an excellent choice for a naturalistic border or as a vibrant accent in a cottage-style garden. Because it is a California native relative, it is well-adapted to local climates and shows significant resilience once established. You will receive a healthy 4" plant, ready to be transplanted into your favorite sunny garden spot or rock garden.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Vibrant Orange Blooms: Features classic "monkey face" flowers that bring warm, late-season color to the garden.
  • California Native Roots: Exceptionally well-adapted to local environments and low-water conditions once settled.
  • Pollinator Magnet: Highly attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies, providing a vital late-season food source.
  • Evergreen Structure: Maintains its sticky green foliage throughout the year, providing consistent garden texture.
  • Low Maintenance: Simply prune periodically to maintain a shapely and productive plant.

This 4" healthy live plant thrives in full sun or light shade and prefers moderate to moist watering in well-drained soil. While it can handle boggy conditions, it is also surprisingly tolerant of drier spots once the root system is established. For the best display, place it in a location where its cascading, trumpet-like flowers can be easily enjoyed. Pat's Best Monkey Flower is the ultimate choice for the gardener seeking professional-grade native beauty in a convenient 4" size.

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. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and ship until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!
