Cardinal Flower - Lobelia cardinalis
The brilliant red spires of the Cardinal Flower can bloom for a month or longer. Occurring naturally in marshes and wooded streambanks, it requires moist, rich soil and responds magnificently to cultivation. Pollinated by hummingbirds, Cardinal Flower grows best in partial shade. Short lived, it may require replanting every few years, but is well worth the effort.
