Indian Pink

Spigelia marilandica

Indian Pink is renowned for its unique and vibrant flowers. Each stem produces multiple upward-facing, tubular blooms that are bright red on the outside and yellow inside, creating a striking contrast that is particularly attractive to hummingbirds. Flowering in early to mid-summer, it adds a splash of color to the shade garden. This plant prefers partial to full shade and rich, well-drained soil, making it a delightful addition to woodland settings and shaded border fronts.
