Selected by California Flora Nursery from rocky slopes along the Russian River in Sonoma County, it combines aromatic gray-green foliage with long-blooming clusters of lavender to pinkish-purple flowers in spring and summer. Bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects gather around the blooms, making it an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly gardens. Its compact, rounded habit fits beautifully into sunny native plantings and lightly shaded borders. Drought tolerant once established and deer resistant, 'Russian River' prefers good drainage; a little summer irrigation helps maintain its attractive appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvergreen perennial herb; may become partly deciduous during summer drought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalifornia native selection from rocky slopes along the Russian River\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelected and introduced by California Flora Nursery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGray-green foliage with a strong, refreshing mint fragrance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLavender to pinkish-purple flower clusters in spring and summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrought tolerant once established and deer resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, rounded habit for native gardens and pollinator plantings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrefers good drainage; light summer irrigation improves appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeadhead spent blooms and trim lightly in fall or winter to reduce woody growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 12–18 inches | Spread: About 2 feet\u003cbr\u003eExposure: Sun to part shade; part shade preferred inland | Water: Moderate to low; drought tolerant once established\u003cbr\u003eBloom time: Spring–summer | Bloom color: Lavender to pinkish-purple\u003cbr\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zone: 7–10\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Russian River Rootworks","offers":[{"title":"4\"","offer_id":44081711251510,"sku":"MONARDELLA-VILLOSA-RUSSIAN-RIVER-4IN","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Gal","offer_id":44147732086838,"sku":"MONARDELLA-VILLOSA-RUSSIAN-RIVER-AVAIL-20250820-1GAL","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/4693\/0486\/files\/Monardella_RussianRiver2.jpg?v=1792972623","url":"https:\/\/russianriverrootworks.com\/products\/monardella-villosa-russian-river-coyote-mint","provider":"Russian River Rootworks ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
