Narrow-leaved monkeyflower (Erythranthe linearifolia) is a delicate California native perennial that thrives in moist, partially shaded streamside conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist and avoid letting it dry out completely between waterings. It is best suited to native gardens, rain gardens, or moist woodland edges rather than typical home containers.
