Cardinal Flower is a tall growing, amply flowering Hardy Marginal Plant. Its recognizable flowers will flourish in the warm Summer months, attracting butterflies, and more excitingly, Hummingbirds! (See picture.) Give Cardinal Flower an oversized container if you choose to pot it, so its elaborate root system will have access to plenty of footing and fertilizer, and do not allow the water level to go any higher than the top of the pot. Otherwise, plant Cardinal Flower directly into your Bog Area, and watch it spread laterally while pushing new stalks as high as 3 feet above the water! ***Available in both RED and BLUE flowering varieties.
