Cardinal Flower is named for its beautiful scarlet red flowers which are an important nectar source for hummingbirds and swallowtail butterflies
This plant is easily grown in rich, medium to wet soil and in part shade to full sun, although afternoon shade is appreciated in hot summer climates. The soil should never be allowed to dry out, and it will tolerate brief flooding. Root mulch can be applied to help retain soil moisture and to protect the root system in cold winter climates. Propagate this plant either by seed or by separating the rosettes from the parent plant in the spring.
