True to its name, this brilliant wildflower sports the scarlet hue of the cardinal. It has been called the reddest red in nature and flourishes in wet areas near ponds or streams. This flower is a native perennial wildflower that attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. The brilliant color of this perennial Lobelia earned it its common name, which refers to the traditional red vestments of cardinals.
