Cardinal-flower (Lobelia cardinalis)

$7.00

With bright red, long-lasting flowers, this is one of the top three plants for hummingbirds—along with bee-balm (Monarda didyma) and trumpet honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens). It typically grows tall and narrow, making it a see-through plant. Plant it in a moist spot, or expect to water it—although it has been known to reseed and grow in dry clay. Keep the crown of the plant free of mulch and heavy leaf cover in winter.
