Cardinal-Flower is a short-lived perennial that grows up to 6 feet tall, and is capable of thriving in standing water or average soil. From mid-summer to fall it produces showy red flowers at the end of terminal spikes that are especially attractive to hummingbirds. This plant can grow in full sun to shade, but its soil must always be kept moist or wet.
