3-4" tall x 6-8" wide. A dazzling selection of this California native
wildflower species, Monardella macrantha 'Marian Sampson' (commonly
known as Scarlet Monardella) has clusters of brilliant red, tubular
flowers held over low mats of dark green, shiny leaves. Blooming in late
spring it is certain to attract the hummingbirds. This little gem is
great for a rock garden or in a container. Easy-to-grow, it needs sharp
drainage and infrequent summer water. While short-lived, it makes up for
it by being exceptionally showy and exotic. Introduced into the trade
by Ed Sampson of the Mourning Cloak Ranch in Tehachapi, CA and named it
in honor of his late wife, Marian. Horticulturist Panayoti Kelaidis,
director of outreach at the Denver Botanic Gardens, praised this plant
in a blog article
