Description
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.

"Though it hasn't flowered I'm looking forward to it. It is growing nicely."
nice plants
"They smell heavenly even though I don't have flowers yet. I went away for 10 days, leaving them in the care of friends. While we were gone, they grew taller. I thought they had flower buds but they stayed green (they should have red flowers). I planted them in containers yesterday and I'm waiting for the red flowers. . . . . ."

Exciting but short lived
"Enjoy this exciting little plant and the hummingbirds it draws to your garden! It lives only a short time, so be prepared to replace it after two or three years."
