Also known as Coralbean and Cherokee Bean, this perennial shrub or small tree typically grows 6 to 12 feet tall, bearing showy red flowers that are highly attractive to hummingbirds in late spring and early summer. The flowers are followed by seed pods that split in late summer and fall to reveal bright red, persistent seeds, which are toxic to humans if eaten. Red-Cardinal grows in full sun to partial shade and in dry, sandy, loamy, and clayey soils.
