Introducing Cardinal Flower, a stunning native perennial with spikes of brilliant scarlet-red flowers that are irresistible to hummingbirds. This showstopper thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 3-9 and lights up moist garden areas throughout summer.
Cardinal Flower's preference for consistently moist to wet conditions makes it perfect for stream banks, pond edges, rain gardens, and low-lying areas. Growing 2-4 feet tall, the vivid red flower spikes create dramatic vertical accents.
This native beauty is one of the best plants for attracting ruby-throated hummingbirds, which are the primary pollinators of its tubular flowers.
Fun Fact: The flower's vivid red color and tubular shape have evolved specifically to attract hummingbirds—the color is highly visible to birds but less visible to bees.
Bring the dazzling Cardinal Flower to your moist garden areas and enjoy the hummingbird show.
