| Mimulus naiandinus was known for many years as Mimulus 'Andean Nymph'. It has lots of pale creamy yellow flowers, stained and spotted with purple. It may be short-lived, but it is easily raised from seeds or cuttings, and will usually maintain itself in a suitable cool, damp spot in the garden. |
