USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
3-4" tall x 6-8" wide. A dazzling selection of this California native
wildflower species, Monardella macrantha 'Marian Sampson' (Hummingbird Coyote Mint) 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 Mandala mint revisited...some more glimpses of a spectacular native plant.
