Monkey Flower. Hardy perennial
This flower will grow in almost any soil, although a moist retentive
loam and a shady situation are best adapted for it. There are many
varieties, differing in height, and all are worth growing, both in pots
and borders. If
sown in February or March, and treated as greenhouse
annuals, they will flower in the first year. It is easy to raise a large
number of plants in a cold frame, and they make a rich display in
borders and beds later in the year. Sowings in the open ground during
summer will supply plants for blooming in the following season, but the
most satisfactory course is to grow them as annuals, and at the end of
the summer consign them to the waste heap. The Mimulus is quite hardy,
and the most ordinary care will suffice for it. Water in plenty it must
have, or the flowering period will be curtailed.
The well-known Musk is a Mimulus (M. moschatus), and is as easily
grown from seed as other varieties. It makes a valuable pot plant.
