Monkey Flower - Mimulus: I am called Monkey Flower as some people think my face is like a monkey's!! Native American Indians used to use the Monkey Flower as a salt substitute to flavour wild game.

How to use your jungle kit:

Pierce holes in the growing tray where marked, using a pencil or skewer and place the magic compost block in the tray.  Place drip tray under growing trays.

Moisten the magic compost block with water and watch it expand.  Break up the compost, level off and firm down.

Place 2 straws across the tray to divide into 3 sections and plant your seeds, one variety to each section, evenly across the surface of the compost and press in lightly.  Cover with paper and keep in a warm place.

When seedlings emerge usually in 7-15 days remove paper and keep compost moist.  Move to a warm, well lit windowsill.

Gently remove some seedlings to leave remainder around 4cm apart.  Put some spare seedlings in other pots or trays.  grow on until plants are 5-8cm high.  You can then plant Monkey Flower and Black Eyed Susan outdoors 15cm apart and then watch for the first flowers to appear.
