A short-lived perennial that grows 1 to 2 feet in height, Fire-Pink, or Scarlet Catchfly, has long, narrow, opposite leaves and bright red, tubular, star-pointed flowers. This plant does not do well in deep shade, preferring partial shade as well as dry to moist, well-drained, and rocky soils. The eye-catching flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies, while the plant’s seeds are consumed by various songbirds.
