This moisture-loving perennial brings vivid vertical color to borders, bog areas, and rain gardens, and its nectar-rich flowers are a welcomed sight for hummingbirds and other pollinating wildlife throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse cardinal flower in native plantings, pollinator gardens, rain gardens, and along pond or stream edges where soil stays consistently moist. Plants form tidy basal rosettes and send up flower spikes that pair beautifully with ferns, sedges, and other moisture-loving perennials. Allow spent blooms to remain if you wish to encourage self-seeding in favorable sites, or divide clumps every few years to keep plantings vigorous.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Lobelia cardinalis\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Herbaceous perennial\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright clumping\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to part shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Moist to wet, rich, well-draining\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 3-9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 14-30 days with light; surface sow and press in, do not bury\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Start indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost or direct sow after frost\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 12-18 inches\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Keep soil consistently moist; mulch to retain moisture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67658388111670,"sku":"AGY-224","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8025580162_9ry5.jpg?v=1792333706","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/100-cardinal-flower-seeds-lobelia-cardinalis-native-red-wildflower-pollinator-garden","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
