Indian Pink (Spigelia)
Indian Pink
(
marilandica
)
18-24” tall x 15-18” wide
A truly unknown and underused beauty in the garden, Spigelia has an outstanding bloom and is tolerant of partial to full shade
Big, deep green foliage emerges in the spring and forms a tight, upright mound that tops off with stem-ending buds in late May
Spectacular, 2” long, tubular flowers open in June showing a yellow interior that flares to a star at the end, while the exterior is deep red
Spigelia prefers well-drained soil, but will also do well in moist, organic soil
Tubular flowers attract hummingbirds
