Add a "slice" of this native wildflower to your garden! The tubular flowers appear for many weeks in late spring and early summer. The red and orange colors, coupled with the flower shape, are popular with Hummingbirds and can be used to attract the elusive bird (among other pollinators) to your garden. This woodland perennial grows from sun to shade and is long-lived once established. Spigelia will be more floriferous in full sun, but will also need more moisture to stay looking nice. Filtered sun is recommended in southern regions. Slices Spigelia are self-cleaning, meaning old flowers fall to the ground rather than drying to the stem.
