Plant Highlights

Eleanor Monkeyflower is a horticultural selection by Yerba Buena Nursery from one of the native monkeyflowers of California. Eleanor forms a dense shrub about 3 feet tall and wide and takes sun on the coast and light shade inland. This selection makes a veritable bouquet all summer of buttery yellow flowers edged with white, with orange markings in the center. As with all monkeyflowers, consistent watering can hurt the plant; supplement its water for a month after planting time, then let it alone. A splash of water once or twice a month in the hottest parts of summer will allow Eleanor to keep its leaves all year. Cut back the whole plant to about 8" high after flowering, and give it a good deep watering. It will regrow and rebloom. Eleanor Monkeyflower is suitable for containers as well as flower borders, pathways, hummingbird and butterfly habitats.

Love this monkeyflower. The flowers are beautiful and the plant it totally covered in them at the height of spring.

These are great fast growing plants that flowers prolifically. Im already seeing a ton of growth within the first few weeks of planting.
