YOU WROTE: Cardinal Flower is more of a wetland plant and tends to be short lived.
David--So true...So true....My Pakistani neighbor has given me small clumps of it
twice. They just did not make it. Only the 1st year one grew nicely and bloomed as well.
Never again since then.
She has them coming up here and there. Tight little clumps of new leaves emerging.
I sure would love to have them again...
Maybe I should plant one at he base of my forever leaking gutter downspout???
NOT a great location, though. N. facing shade and smack against a couple of evergreen shrubs.
There is NO sun at the front of my house!!! Too bad! There are NO tree roots in the front..
Need to switch sides....
The back yard is so dry and compacted due to all the Maple roots ,
