The Eye-Catching Beauty Spigelia Indian Pink
This wildflower has a stunning look that is easily identifiable. The flowers bud straight out from the top of the stems in an elongated fashion. This bright red or pink bud then sprouts a small, delicate flower at the top. This yellow flower has a star-like shape with six petals. The large, pointed leaves have a dusty green hue. When the plants are in full bloom, usually in May, you can enjoy a sea of green, red, and yellow in your garden.
Spigelia Indian Pink is Great For Supporting Wildlife
This plant strongly attracts hummingbirds to its flowers. Hummingbirds are natural pollinators, promoting the health of other plants in your garden. In addition, hummingbirds eat wasps, mosquitoes, aphids, ants, and other pesky insects that you may prefer to keep out of your space. The roots of this lovely plant also dispel several types of worms that could otherwise damage the plants.
The Hardiness Of Spigelia Indian Pink
While this wildflower plant prefers moist soil, it is hardy enough to withstand drought. When it has adequate moisture, the plant will grow taller and thicker. The dry months of the year stymie growth and often transition into the colder weather season when the plant lies dormant. However, the blooms will return in the spring months.
Spigelia Indian Pink grows in clumps up to two feet tall and two feet wide. When planted ornamentally, these plants are often shaped through pruning. Commonly, they are rounded to appear as bushes. However, they can also grow broadly by retaining their free, wildflower look. The plants spread through natural propagation, and you can facilitate growth by planting the cut stems.

Customer Reviews
Being a native plant in SC and just seeing my first bloom at Charlestowne Landing last Spring, I wanted some in my yard! My friend bought some bare root plants from another company that arrived dry as a bone and **** reappeared. I took a chance ordering from TN nursery and when the roots arrived, they were in a moist bag inside the envelope and most had small green "nodes" on them. I love that TN includes all of the USDA info on the envelope and provides expectations when ordering and when the plant arrives that one should not expect the plant to spring from the ground immediately. Otherwise, I might have. Can't wait until next Spring!
I love these flowers, they add an exotic look to any flower garden from June thru July here in Virginia, which is why I wanted more of them. Beautiful arching double rows of cascades of red to pink miniature trumpets.
I planted them and will see how they do as they grow. Since they are bare root plants really can't tell much about them yet.
