Description

A wonderful North American native plant that the hummingbirds will thank you for planting. The tall stems of the Cardinal Flower are densely packed with intensely show scarlet red flowers on large inflorescences from mid summer into fall. Easy to grow in moist, rich soil and will naturalize freely. Perfect for those partially shaded wet spots in the garden!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Cardinal Flower is perfect for planting in partially shaded sites with a moisture retentive soil, such as near ponds, streams, lakes and other sites with somewhat swampy conditions. If conditions are right the plant will naturalize freely. A fine addition to bog gardens, perennial gardens, cottage gardens, and red theme gardens.

Growing Preferences

Lobelia isn’t too fussy about soil but grows best in a consistently moist soil of average fertility. Too much shade and flowering will be diminished. In northern regions it may tolerate full sun with adequate moisture. At least 4 hours of direct sunlight per day is suggested for best flowering. Plant with the top of the root ball even with ground level. Care and maintenance are minimal. Feed in spring with an organic plant food.

Plant Long & Prosper!
