Indian Pink (Spigelia marilandica) is a striking perennial native to the southeastern United States. This plant typically grows to a height of 1 to 2 feet and thrives in partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens. The Indian Pink features vibrant, tubular flowers that are bright red on the outside and yellow inside, blooming from late spring to early summer. These blossoms are particularly attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies, adding a lively dynamic to any garden space. The plant’s foliage consists of dark green, lance-shaped leaves that provide an elegant backdrop to the vivid flowers. Indian Pink prefers moist, well-drained soil and, once established, it requires minimal maintenance, making it a favorite among gardeners looking to add a splash of color and wildlife interest to shaded areas.
