Perfect for borders, rain gardens, or as a standout specimen, Blue Cardinal Flower offers both ornamental beauty and ecological benefits.

In late summer, Blue Cardinal Flower comes to life with tall, erect spikes adorned with numerous tubular blue flowers.

Ideal for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance yet visually stunning perennial, Blue Cardinal Flower thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, rich soil. It is particularly well-suited to wet or poorly drained areas, making it an excellent choice for rain gardens, stream banks, and pond edges. This hardy plant is relatively pest and disease-resistant, ensuring it remains healthy and vibrant with minimal care. Regular watering during dry spells and mulching to retain soil moisture will help maintain its vigor.
