Spigelia marilandica – Apple Slices Indian Pink
$19.99
Wildly popular among plant enthusiasts and highly sought after.
Add a “slice” of the native wildflower Indian Pink to your garden with Apple Slices Indian Pink, Spigelia! A selection of the Missouri and Illinois native perennial. The deep wine red tubular flowers appear late spring and early summer. The brilliant colors, paired with the trumpet flower shape, attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. Extremely versatile, Apple Slices Indian Pink grows in shade to part shade to full sun, and even tolerates the toughest conditions of dry shade under trees. Apple Slices Indian Pink will produce more flowers in full sun but will need consistent moisture to look nice. In Missouri and Illinois, Indian Pink is naturally at home in areas with filtered sun. This woodland perennial is long-lived once established. Apple Slices Spigelia is self-cleaning, meaning old flowers fall to the ground rather than drying to the stem. Rabbit and deer resistant.
Indian Pink naturally grows under trees and looks lovely in shady woodland gardens. It’s fantastic in formal beds, cottage gardens, and naturalized. Indian Pink works great for a multitude of other landscape applications as well: part sun, or shady perennial borders, as an easy-care ground cover under trees, pollinator gardens, and native gardens…and the list goes on and on.
Growing instructions: An easy-to-grow native, Indian Pink prefers well-drained soil that has been amended with compost or other organic matter and a spot in part shade to full shade. Good drainage is a must. Although it tolerates drought and dry soil, Indian Pink will benefit from good soakings during dry spells and will bloom best with consistent moisture.
