Spigelia marilandica ‘Little Redhead’
Spigelia marilandica 'Little Redhead' is an improvement upon the striking, long-blooming eastern North American native.
Spigelia marilandica is one of the most striking and beautiful of the eastern North American native wildflowers. Indian Pink’s late spring and summer flowers are brilliant red and tubular with canary yellow throats. ‘Little Redhead’ is more compact compared to the species and very floriferous! A favourite of butterflies and hummingbirds, it is at home in the bright woodland or sunny border.
