Monardella macrantha 'Marian Sampson'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: Native to California, this perennial is hardy in the Salt Lake Valley. Scarlet red trumpet-shaped flowers grow in prolific clusters that are very attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies. Small dark green leaves look good in rock gardens. It is difficult to establish, so expect to lose some.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
