Field monkeyflower thrives in moist, partly shaded spots and prefers consistently damp soil — it does poorly if allowed to dry out completely. Plant in a garden border, rain garden, or near a water feature where it can receive filtered light for best flowering results. Regular deadheading will extend the blooming season through summer.
