Lobelia cardinalis - A stunning, tall perennial that loves low-lying and moist areas such as swamps and streams, Red Cardinal Flower is also beloved by humming birds as a source of nectar for them. If you have areas of your yard that tend to become flooded or slop, this is a perfect plant to add that helps prevent runoff and attract beautiful pollinators.

Space 8 to 12 inches apart.

Tip: Because of its fibrous roots, it’s an excellent plant to add to sloping areas to help prevent runoff.
