Description
Monardella villosa 'Russian River' (Coyote Mint) is long-blooming, coloring the garden with flowers for several months beginning in mid-summer. The strongly mint-scented evergreen leaves are a treat and give rise to large pink-purple ball-shaped flowers that are darker than is typical for Monardella villosa. The plant is a magnet for all types of bees and butterflies. This is a small growing shrub that thrives in xeric conditions, likes full sun and grows well in infertile, well drained sandy, rocky or sandy-loam soils. It dislikes heavy clay or clay-loam. Nicely cold hardy to sub-zero winter temperatures. This is an improved selection of a native California Coyote Mint species. Recommended companion plants include Furman’s Red Sage (Salvia ‘Furman’s Red’), Blackfoot Daisy (Melampodium leucanthum) and Prairie Gayfeather (Liatris punctata). Cold hardy in USDA zones 6-9, it is recommended for fall planting in the warmer winter areas (zones 7-9) only. In zone 6 and cooler, it needs to be spring planted to establish itself with the summer heat before winter. 15-18" wide x 12-18" tall.

Beautiful purple flowers, amazing aroma!
"Wonderful intense aroma, perfect for a walkway to brush up against, thrives in shade and sun. Most of our Coyote Mint is in shade but we have been putting it everywhere in our backyard as not only an attractive aromatic plant but also a deer deterrent as we cannot put up fencing and the Bambi's will eat most things. But they haven't touched the Monardella Villosa! We love it. It fills the air around you. We are in Zone 9-10"
Perfect in native garden
"I'm building a native plant, lawn-free front yard and these guys hit all the marks. The foilage is fragrant so if you're a tactile gardener like me, you'll love the scent they produce as you brush by. They were the first to say hello to spring, doubling in size since fall."
