Description

This Mimulus hybrid is characterized by its unusually large, white flowers that overpower every other feature of the plant. As with all other dry Mimulus species, it requires well drained soil with very infrequent summer water. In many gardens, it will be treated as an annual. Foliage will grow to 18" high and 18" wide. It should be pruned in the summer to promote growth for the following year.

Water Saving Tip:

Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.

One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
