The brilliant red flowers of Cardinal Flower are a hummingbird and butterfly magnet! This native plant is happiest in consistently moist soil and will tolerate brief flooding; perfect for rain gardens and naturalizing near ponds and streams. Scarlet red, tubular flowers open in August at the top of the unbranched stems, blooming for several weeks. In favorable situations it may seed about.
