Colour: Orange & Red
Mimulus cupreus 'Whitecroft Scarlet' (Monkey flower)
Awarded the RHS Award for Garden Merit and it certainly is a 'dooer'. With red flowers all summer long above compact, neat foliage, this plant is great for a rockery (provided it's not too dry), front of border or pond edge.
Happy in sun or shade as long as the soil isn't too dry, this really is a very easy and rewarding plant to grow.
'Whitecroft Scarlet' is an old variety becoming less and less common as newer varieties are raised and promoted. However the newer varieties tend to be shorted lived so we still prefer this old favourite.
The name Monkey Flower comes from the Latin Mimus, meaning mimic or actor because the flowers resembled a mask. All Mimulus prefer moist soil and shelter from strong winds. The Musks mysteriously lost their scent at the beginning of the 20th century - if you discover yours has a scent, please let us know!
Height: 20cm
Common name(s): Monkey flower; Monkey Musk.

All our plants are supplied in 9cm pots unless otherwise specified. Plants in this size pot establish quickly in the garden and often outpace plants in bigger pots planted at the same time. Our potted plants can be planted immediately, unless otherwise noted, or you can leave them in their pots until you are ready to plant.
The majority of our plants are grown outdoors. This means that they follow their natural growth patterns and are ready to plant at any time of the year. If you order the plants in winter, they are likely to be dormant and died back to ground level, ready to shoot again in spring - just like the herbaceous perennials in your own garden. Very occasionally, in winter and early spring, we may indicate on the packing slip that a plant needs to be hardened off before planting out. This will be because it has just come out of a polytunnel. If you have any questions about our plants or growing methods, please feel free to drop us an email.
We grow most of what we sell ourselves, in our nursery in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Our prices include VAT at 20%.
Please note: We do our best to provide acurate photographs of the plants we sell, but colours display differently on different screens and printers and in different light and we cannot guarantee that what you are seeing on your screen, or on the plant label provided, will exactly match the plant when it flowers in your garden. Plant dimensions are given as a guide only and the actual sizes reached may vary from garden to garden, depending on local conditions.
