Description

Spigelia marilandica 'Little Redhead' is a compact and more uniform growing selection of Indian Pink. Its stalks of glossy green, ovate leaves are topped with stunning, dark red, tubular flowers with soft yellow interiors exposed at starry openings. The flowers of 'Little Redhead' are usually borne in early summer and may sporadically repeat. The brilliant red color of this uncommon perennial works great for attracting hummingbirds. It is one of our favorites and very popular with gardeners.

Spigelia marilandica is native to the southeastern United States from Texas to Florida, the mid-Atlantic states and into Indiana and Illinois. It is typically found in moist woods and along stream banks.

Spigelia marilandica 'Little Redhead' prefers partial shade and consistently moist, but well-drained soil. It will thrive in full sun as long as adequate moisture is provided. It can slowly form colonies where it is happy.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
