Loeblia cardinalis
Growing to a height of approximately 2 to 4 feet, the Cardinal Flower displays upright stems adorned with spikes of brilliant red, tubular flowers. The blossoms bloom in late summer and early fall, adding a splash of bold color to gardens and landscapes. The deeply lobed foliage is a rich green color and serves as an attractive backdrop to the vibrant blooms. This plant thrives in moist to wet soil conditions, often found near water sources. Its vibrant flowers and ability to attract hummingbirds and butterflies make it a popular choice for adding color and life to rain gardens, pond edges, and naturalized areas.
