Monardella villosa - Russian River
Native wildflower, pollinator’s delight
Edge a low to NO-WATER path with this minty, fragrant native sub-shrub. More vigorous than the plain species, you get a nice semi-evergreen, small-scale groundcover to 15" tall x 2' wide and plentiful, showy 2" rich lavender puffballs all Summer long. Tolerant of CLAY-ISH soil (not hardpan), "Coyote Mint" also thrives on rocky slopes and under oaks! Stays greener and blooms longer with some Summer water. Used as a tea for sore throats. Cut back in Fall. Bees and butterflies! Deer resistant.

Guarantee
We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
