Lobelia cardinalis | Cardinal Flower | 150 Seeds

Lobelia cardinalis, commonly known as Cardinal Flower, is a stunning native perennial plant found in the eastern and central parts of North America. This remarkable plant typically reaches heights of 2 to 4 feet (60 to 120 cm) and is celebrated for its striking scarlet-red, tubular flowers that are arranged in tall spikes. These vibrant blossoms are a magnet for pollinators, especially hummingbirds and butterflies, with their vivid hue and nectar-rich rewards. Cardinal Flowers feature lance-shaped, deep green leaves that provide an attractive backdrop to the brilliant blooms. They thrive in moist to wet soil and are often found along the edges of streams, ponds, and in other damp, low-lying areas. With its dramatic appearance and ecological importance as a pollinator attractor, Lobelia cardinalis is a favorite among gardeners looking to add a burst of color and wildlife interest to their gardens, particularly in the late summer and early fall when it comes into full bloom.  Zones 3-9
