This moisture-loving annual is naturally found in wet meadows, marshes, and along pond and stream edges, making it an excellent choice for rain gardens, bog plantings, and shallow-water margins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts compact size and bright blooms add color and texture to water features and native plant gardens, while the nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Scarlet Toothcup works well as a naturalizing plant in consistently wet soils and can be grown in containers or bog baskets for flexible placement around ponds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative wetland wildflower with bright scarlet-red blooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrives in consistently moist to wet soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for pond margins, rain gardens, and bog plantings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturalizes readily in suitable wet conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ammannia coccinea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual wetland wildflower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist to wet soil; tolerates shallow standing water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e High; keep soil consistently wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer to early fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 to 12 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow Scarlet Toothcup seeds on the surface of moist, fine-textured soil and press them gently in place without covering deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently wet and maintain high humidity around the seed tray or planting area. Seeds can be started indoors or sown directly in boggy ground, rain gardens, or shallow pond margins after the danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, plants need little care beyond steady moisture. Water regularly to prevent the soil from drying out, especially during hot weather. Thin or space seedlings to about 6 to 12 inches apart so plants have room to branch and bloom. Remove spent flowers if you want to limit self-seeding, or allow seed heads to mature to encourage natural spread in wet garden areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e1000 Scarlet Toothcup seeds (Ammannia coccinea) for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739799421238,"sku":"EDNA-688","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8079921221_qgg2.jpg?v=1792116144","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1000-scarlet-toothcup-seeds-native-wetland-wildflower-pond-plant","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
