A vigorous Coyote Mint with ball-shaped clusters of pinkish-purple blooms above fragrant evergreen leaves. Loved by bees and butterflies. Deer resistant. They perform excellently in full sun to part sun and will tolerate light shade (but mostly as a foliage plant). Drought tolerant once established, but happier with some supplemental summer water during our heat waves. 

One of our staff members is particularly offended by plants being labeled "Deer Resistant", as many fall short of the label. Monardella villosa 'Russian River' has received a gold star for resistance to foliage foragers after it was tested in that staff member's garden, which goats, ducks, and deer frequent.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
