Allegheny monkeyflower (Mimulus ringens) Plants

An attractive wetland perennial, monkeyflower blooms are blue-violet (less often white or pink) and similar to snapdragons. Bumblebees are frequent visitors and one of the few insects strong enough to push their way into the partially closed throat of the flower to access nectar. This species is great for rain gardens and wet meadows, as it requires consistently moist soil.
