Frequently Asked Questions
How deep should I plant Mimulus ringens?
How deep should I plant Mimulus ringens?
Once established it can sit anywhere between 0 and 15cm deep, but start shallower: a third of that depth for the 9cm pot plants, or half for the 1 litre plant, while it takes root.
Does it need much care?
Does it need much care?
Not much. A light trim keeps it tidy, but it's best to leave the foliage to die back naturally over autumn and winter so the plant can form its buds for next spring.
What's the difference between the two pack options?
What's the difference between the two pack options?
The single option is one plant already in a 1 litre mesh basket, ready to plant. The pack of three is three smaller plants in 9cm pots that still need potting into a mesh basket before going into the pond.
Does it need full sun?
Does it need full sun?
Yes, it's suited to a full sun position.
A marginal plant for pond edges, Mimulus ringens grows upright stems that help add height and structure to margin planting over summer. It establishes readily once potted at the right depth, giving a naturalistic look to the water's edge. Available as a single 1 litre basket-ready plant or a pack of three 9cm pot plants for filling a larger area more affordably.
Mimulus ringens is a marginal pond plant with longer, narrower leaves than other Mimulus varieties, giving it a more upright, grass-like profile at the water's edge. Native to eastern and central North America, it's suited to planting directly into pond margins. Once established, it helps fill out planting at the pond edge with tall, flowering stems through summer.
You can buy it as a single plant already in a 1 litre mesh aquatic basket, ready to go straight into the water, or as a pack of three young plants, each supplied in a 9cm pot, for filling a larger area more economically.
Growth is steady rather than fast, and little ongoing care is needed beyond a tidy-up. Letting the foliage die back naturally over autumn and winter helps the plant build strong buds for the following season.
