About this Plant

Description:
Mimulus luteus 'Queen's Prize' is a herbaceous perennial that typically reaches a height of 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) and forms a dense, bushy mound of foliage. The leaves are small, ovate or lanceolate in shape, and have a deep green color. From late spring to early summer, it produces an abundance of striking, trumpet-shaped flowers that are bright yellow in color. The flowers have distinct darker markings on the throat and are often spotted or speckled. 'Queen's Prize' is known for its large and showy flowers, which make a bold statement in the garden.

Care Guide:

Light: Mimulus luteus 'Queen's Prize' thrives in partial shade to full sun. It can tolerate some shade, especially in regions with hot summers. However, to encourage optimal flowering, provide it with at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Water: Monkeyflowers prefer moist soil and appreciate regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this can cause stress and inhibit flower production. However, be careful not to overwater, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot. Use a well-draining soil mix and monitor the moisture levels regularly.

Soil: 'Queen's Prize' prefers a fertile, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Incorporating organic matter, such as compost, into the soil prior to planting can help improve its fertility and moisture retention capabilities.

Fertilizer: Monkeyflowers are not heavy feeders, but you can provide a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once every few weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and flowering. Follow the package instructions for dosage and application instructions.

Maintenance: Deadhead the spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent the plant from diverting energy into seed production. Prune back any leggy or straggly growth to maintain a compact and bushy habit. In regions with harsh winters, cut back the plant to ground level in late fall or early spring.

Pests and Diseases: Monkeyflowers are generally resistant to most pests and diseases. However, they can be susceptible to aphid infestations. Regularly inspect the plants and apply appropriate treatments if necessary. Ensure good air circulation around the plants to prevent the development of fungal diseases.

Propagation: Monkeyflowers can be propagated by seeds or stem cuttings. Seeds can be sown indoors in early spring or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Stem cuttings can be taken in spring or early summer and rooted in a well-draining potting mix.

Mimulus luteus 'Queen's Prize' is an eye-catching addition to flower beds, borders, and containers. With its vibrant yellow flowers and compact growth habit, it brings a cheerful and lively presence to any garden setting.
