The genus Mimulus like moist areas in riparian corridors and aren't very drought tolerant. Diplacus like dry rocky slopes. They can often be found growing in almost solid rock with very little moisture even on south facing slopes. They will often survive drought by going summer deciduous. Diplacus species are erect and woody in their growth habit. Monkey flowers are more floriferous in full sun but will tolerate part or even full shade. UC Santa Cruz Arboretum plant introduction
