Product Overview
Lavender Musk aka Square-Stemmed Monkeyflower (Mimulus ringens)
This pretty pond plant produces many 1" lavender-purple flowers resembling snap-dragons on tall stalks with soft green foliage. Lavender Musk has a long blooming season and gives nice late season color to the water garden. When foliage appears old or bloomed out, cut back for a new flush of foliage and hopefully blooms. Attractive when planted among blue rush or sedge. The name monkeyflower comes from the shape of the bloom from the front, which someone thought had the shape of a monkey's face. Multiplies by underground runners. US native.
