The mischievous red flower commonly known as Cardinal Flower! This wildflower may be common, but its good looks are hard to come by — in some areas, it’s become quite a rarity due to overpicking. However, this resilient bloom knows how to get by with a little help from hummingbirds that feed on its nectar for pollination. Plus, this flower’s name comes from the bright red robes worn by Roman Catholic cardinals — you can bring a burst of history to your backyard canvas. So don’t miss out – lace up those gardening gloves, buy yourself some Lobelia cardinalis, and make your outdoor space something special!

Shipping Information:
We don't want you to have any worries about your plant when it ships! We are a fresh to order nursery so we have no stock on the shelf. This is to allow us to provide you with the healthiest plants we possibly can! We collect and send out plants Monday and Tuesday so they won’t get stuck in the mail over the weekend. We label each species of plants individually with their scientific and common name. We fill the excess space in the package with air pillows and packing paper to prevent the plants from receiving damage during shipping.
 
Carbon Emission Statement:
We carbon-offset by using recycled boxes and packing material from our local area whenever we can, and as much as we can! As a Fresh-To-Order Nursery it's part of the job to try helping ensure that Earth lasts for generations ahead. While providing beautiful plants in these areas also requires taking care of the plants that grow there. Harvesting only occurs on acres pure untouched marsh or wetlands which provide habitats for wildlife, both now and hopefully for many years to come! It is our mission to preserve these areas.
