Description: Indian Pink is a striking native perennial known for its brilliant red tubular flowers with bright yellow star-shaped centers. Blooming from late spring to early summer, this woodland beauty adds bold color and elegant structure to shaded gardens, native plant borders, and naturalized landscapes. Its upright clumping habit and lush green foliage make it a standout in partially shaded spaces where vibrant blooms can be hard to find.

Wildlife Benefits: Indian Pink is a hummingbird favorite, with its tubular flowers perfectly shaped for nectar feeding. It also attracts butterflies and other beneficial pollinators, helping support biodiversity in native and woodland gardens.

Medicinal Benefits: Historically, Indian Pink was used in traditional herbal practices; however, due to its potency and potential toxicity, it is not recommended for home medicinal use. Today, it is best appreciated for its ornamental beauty and ecological contributions.

Native Status: Native to the southeastern United States, including Georgia, Indian Pink is well-adapted to local woodland conditions and supports regional ecosystems.

Pollinator Friendliness: A valuable nectar source in late spring, Indian Pink provides early-season support for hummingbirds and native pollinators before many summer perennials begin blooming.

Planting Guidelines:

Height: 1–2 feet

Spacing: 12–18 inches

Sun/Shade: Thrives in Partial Shade to Full Shade (tolerates morning sun)

How to Grow: Indian Pink prefers rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Amend with compost at planting for best results. Mulch to retain soil moisture and protect roots during hot Georgia summers. Once established, it is relatively low maintenance but prefers minimal root disturbance.

Add vibrant color, hummingbird support, and native woodland beauty to your garden with Indian Pink — a stunning southeastern native that brings ecological value and seasonal drama to shaded spaces.

Available in 2.5 inch and 4.25 inch (quart) pots
