Bush Monkeyflower lights up dry landscapes with an abundance of vivid orange, tubular blooms from spring through summer. Native to California and the western U.S., this low-growing evergreen shrub is perfectly adapted to hot, dry conditions. Its sticky, narrow green leaves help conserve moisture, while the showy flowers offer a nectar buffet for hummingbirds, native bees, and butterflies.

Its drought tolerance and long bloom season make it a standout for water-wise gardens, slopes, rock gardens, and restoration projects.

Pinch back after flowering to encourage a bushier form and prolonged bloom. Avoid overwatering—this plant thrives on neglect once established. Can be short-lived in heavy soils or overly irrigated gardens, so plant in fast-draining spots or on slopes.
