Latin Name: Mimulus hybridus ‘Magic Mix’ 

The Mimulus ‘Magic Mix’ is a vibrant, compact annual (or short-lived perennial) prized for its multicolored, snapdragon-like blooms and long flowering season. Growing 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) tall, it’s ideal for containers, borders, and damp garden spots.

This mix features 1–2 inch (2.5–5 cm) trumpet-shaped flowers in bold shades of yellow, orange, red, and pink, often with contrasting speckles or streaks, resembling playful “monkey faces.” Blooms appear spring through fall, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies.

Thrives in partial shade and moist, well-draining soil, tolerating wet conditions better than most annuals. Though often grown as a seasonal plant, it may self-seed in mild climates (USDA 7–10).

Perfect for rain gardens, pond edges, or patio pots, pair with lobelia, ferns, or creeping jenny for a lush, water-tolerant display.
