sticky monkeyflower
Sticky monkeyflower is the native monkeyflower species that brightens the hills and coastline around Sonoma County. From spring through summer, its profuse yellow-orange tubular flowers decorate evergreen foliage reaching 2-4 feet tall and wide. This unbeatable habitat plant is highly attractive to hummingbirds. Give it good drainage and keep on the dry side. Thrives in full sun near the coast with light shade inland, and benefits from light annual trimming. Serves as a larval food source for the common checkerspot and buckeye butterflies. Deer resistant.
