Streamside Monkey Flower |
As the name implies, this Monkey Flower naturally grows along streams throughout Southern California. It blooms vigorously on stems 2'-3' tall. It acts as both an annual and perennial. Seeds travel through the water so it can be very invasive. It is a beautiful plant but make sure that it is planted in the proper area. It requires water to survive and is not drought tolerant.

As the weather gets hotter avoid the temptation to increase run times.
Instead, schedule more start times with one to two hours in between to allow the water from the previous session to soak in before watering again.
