Hi Meredith!

Mimulus cardinalis is listed as perennial down to -10, but then Baa says it's only hardy to about 23 degrees. Is it a perennial for you in NH?

Hi Suzy, I will not know if it is perennial here until this spring. I just planted it for the first time in 07. If it is perennial I am going to have to thin them out.

Oh, okay. I should have looked at the date of your picture.

I will let you know if they come back. They set a lot of seed so I assume they will at least reseed if nothing else.
