Sticky Monkey Flower

Sticky Monkey Flower is a vibrant California native shrub prized for its cheerful orange blooms and drought-tolerant nature. This low-maintenance perennial thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it ideal for water-wise gardens, rock gardens, and coastal landscapes. The sticky foliage gives the plant its common name and helps it retain moisture in dry conditions. Blooms appear spring through winter, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators. Once established, it requires minimal water and is naturally pest-resistant. Perfect for adding color and wildlife appeal to native plant gardens while reducing irrigation needs.
