Brilliant red flower spikes rise on tall stems in late summer, serving as a beacon for hummingbirds. This short-lived native perennial thrives in wet soil and reseeds to maintain its presence.

Plant Cardinal Flower in spring or early fall in a location with full sun to partial shade. Ensure the soil is consistently moist and rich in organic matter. Space plants 12-18 inches apart. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to maintain soil moisture. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Divide clumps every 2-3 years in early spring to maintain vigor.
