Spigelia marilandica (Indian Pink)
Color Name: Ragin Cajun
Ragin Cajun features a rounded habit of dark green, wedge-shaped leaves and vibrant, orange-red flowers. Attracts pollinators like hummingbirds and is a native woodland perennial, although it grows well in both sun and shade. This genus requires good drainage to thrive, so do not plant in areas with standing water.
Spigelia is underutilized in the landscape due to limited availability, but it's poised to make an explosion in popularity. Why? It's a very versatile perennial-it grows naturally in either sun or shade. This perennial can be found growing in the wild in woodlands and along streambanks throughout the Eastern United States. It's wildly popular among wildflower enthusiasts and highly sought after.
Growing Tips: Easy to grow in most soils but is best in rich, moist soils with good drainage. Thrives in both full sun and partial shade.
