Beautiful red tubules are the highlight of this plant that is a magnet for hummingbirds and Swallowtail butterflies. This plant also produces a deterrent to rabbits, deer and squirrels known as "lobeline". Cardinal Flowers are easy self-seeding plants, so you'll find your plant growing year after year. They are found natively nearly throughout the US except for the Northwestern states of WA, MT, ID, OR, WY, ND and SD.
**Please note, these plants are very hard to germinate, so we typically have a very limited stock. Please join our Spring Plant Waitlist to secure yours ASAP.**

We also encourage you to make sure that you will be home the day your package is delivered so that you can plant as soon as possible. We recommend planting the early morning or evening you receive your plant to ensure exposure to the elements is minimal.
