Monkeyflower savory is a perennial sub-shrub native to coastal California from San Francisco Bay to the San Gabriel Mountains. It grows 1-3 feet tall and 2-4 feet wide, with slender mint-scented branches and wavy-edged leaves. From summer to fall, it produces showy red or red-orange flowers similar to monkeyflowers or penstemons that attract hummingbirds. It thrives in part shade and moist soil, making an attractive flowering plant for shady gardens.
