Mimulus ringens, commonly called Allegheny monkeyflower, is a hardy Maine native with square stems bearing vibrant blue to purple flowers that resemble tiny little monkey faces. It thrives in moist to wet soils and full sun to part shade, spreading by rhizomes to form colonies that provide nectar for bees and butterflies while stabilizing soil and improving habitat. Low-maintenance once established, it tolerates seasonal flooding and can handle a range of pH conditions, making it an excellent choice for ecological restoration and pollinator gardens.
