The Red Cardinal flower will give you vibrant red blossoms to enjoy. They will brighten any flower garden or natural area and grow great in sunlight and lightly shaded areas.

This plant will thrive in moist soil conditions and grow well in regular soil. It will also attract those lovely tiny hummingbirds so you can enjoy watching them.

Flower Form: Each Flower has three lower and two upper petals that all get pulled together at the base in a tube form. Dark green, lance-shaped leaves line the bottom half of the stem and curl upward from their central veins.

They make the perfect addition to any open shady border areas, butterfly or hummingbird gardens, ponds or streams, woodland or native plant gardens, or wild gardens because of their many colors and aromatic fragrance.

Red Cardinal Flower Lobelia Attracts Lovely Hummingbirds to your Landscape

The entire plant is considered poisonous, resulting in nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps if ingested. However, it does have traditional uses as a medicinal plant. The native Cherokees used this Flower to ease coughs, relieve stomach aches, and dispel worms. Today, the plant is used in modern herbalism as a weaker substitute for related species, such as Lobelia inflata.

This perennial Flower is grown in botanical gardens.

For centuries, they have warranted attention from anyone who has seen it. The early North American settlers immediately recognized its brilliance, and it was first sent to France by the French settlers to be grown in botanical gardens.

Because of the flower's striking beauty, over-harvesting has resulted in this sensitive plant being rarely found in the wild. Growing the plant in the garden preserves its legacy and fulfills an ecological niche.

Red Lobelia can easily see why the lobelia is nicknamed the plant because of its bright red blooms. This relatively short clump-forming perennial rises between two and three feet tall in terminal spikes.

Very infrequently, this plant stands up to four feet tall. This plant will often spread between 10 and 14 inches. Red Lobelia, the bright red flowers are tubular, with the upper lip having two lobes while the bottom rim has three. Despite its name, this plant is not attractive to the red bird, but it will likely attract hummingbirds and butterflies to your landscaping. Named after the red robes that Roman Catholic cardinals wear. Expect the flowers to appear in early summer and last through early autumn. After the flowers fade, a blue-green seed pod will look.

This plant loves to be wet and will tolerate brief periods of flooding—many mulches around this plant help the soil retain moisture. This showy Flower prefers full sun in colder climates, while in warmer climates, it prefers some shade during the day's heat.

This plant prefers to grow in clay soil. It will, however, tolerate alkaline or acidic soils; Red lobelias often make an excellent backdrop to other plants in a natural or rain garden; It also does well in one-gallon or larger containers. The stalks on these plants are incredibly stocky. The bottom of the stem has lance-shaped leaves on alternating sides of the stem.

This perennial is an American wildflower local to the Midwestern region, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Tall spikes of beautiful red, trumpet-formed blooms transcend the dull green foliage. Each Flower has three spreading lower and two upper petals, all assembled into a tube at the base.

Erect green stems are frequently in groups, with racemes of blossoms that look like flaming red spires. They add beautiful bright color to any landscape or floral garden. Their deer and rabbit are resistant yet beautiful, with butterflies and hummingbirds.

Developing blossoms sprout amid summer and, in some cases, into fall. Many insects have a hard time following the long necks of the trumpet-formed blooms, so blossoms rely upon hummingbirds for preparation. They also require moist, ripe soil and perform best, considering that organic matter is incorporated into the dirt before planting.

Red Lobelia Add a Beautiful Bright Touch of Color to Any Landscape or Floral Garden

You can transfer the blossom seedlings outside four weeks after you planted them in the fitting plate, picking a zone with full sun or incomplete shade and fertile, loamy, and ideally wet soil. For best results, place a 2-to 3-inch layer of natural mulch around the blossoms and water consistently, keeping the dirt continually sodden for the bloom amid the developing season. The plant is not dry-season tolerant and performs best with continuously wet soil.
