A particularly colorful selection of monkeyflower, Diplacus ‘Jelly Bean Purple Pink’ forms a compact, bushy plant with glossy dark-green foliage and an abundance of large, open-faced flowers ranging from rich purple-pink to soft magenta, often with contrasting white markings around the petal margins. The flowers appear in spring and early summer, with additional blooms possible through the growing season when plants receive occasional summer moisture, you can cut these back pretty hard to flush new growth and to keep them compact.
Growing to roughly 1–2 feet tall and wide, this is an excellent choice for the dry border, rock garden, or Mediterranean-style planting. Give it good drainage and full sun to light shade; in hot inland climates, some afternoon protection is beneficial. Like many California monkeyflowers, it is well adapted to periods of summer dryness once established, but occasional deep watering will extend flowering. Its compact habit and brilliantly colored flowers make it particularly useful tucked among rocks or spilling over a dry-stone wall
