SPIGELIA marilandica
|
Description: A hummingbird magnet! This Eastern US native features unusual deep red and yellow firecrackers (the flowers) perched atop glossy leaves on a 12-18-inch high plant. Best in a moist woodland or along a shady path. The Loganiaceae family is related to gentians, gesneriads and buddlejas, and Spigelia is seldom offered by nurseries. Definitely a rare find!
