Cardinal Flower – A Native Wildflower Intriguing in its Beauty
Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis) is an indigenous perennial with red blooms and tall, graceful spikes. This beautiful wildflower does best in moist, sunny, and partially shaded places and is a popular water garden, rain garden, and naturalized border plant. It is also a favorite of pollinators: its abundant nectar draws hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees.
Principal Characteristics of the Cardinal Flower:
Brilliant Red Blooms: Tubular-shaped flowers make a statement from midsummer to early fall.
Pollinator-Friendly: Attracts hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, supporting local habitat.
Native Perennial: Ideal for naturalized landscapes — attractive and still biodiversity-preserving.
Likes Wet Spaces: Great at stream banks, ponds, rain gardens, and always wet soils.
Low-Treat: Compact in USDA zones 3–9 that need little care when established.
Why Choose the Cardinal Flower?
It is necessary for any gardener who wants a little splash of color but pollinator-friendly plants. Its spike-shaped flowers add vertical interest to beds, and they grow in wet soils, so they are great for spaces where access is limited. If you are planting a native garden or wish to pop your yard with color, the Flower is reliable and bold.
Care Instructions:
Place the Flower in drenched soil in partial to full sun. Water it frequently in the dry season to keep it growing and blooming. Cut back blooms to extend bloom time.
