Indian Pink Bulbs Spigelia marilandica 10 Root Systems

Description

Indian Pink is a long-lived perennial that brings stunning color to the summer garden. Vivid red tubular flowers borne in terminal clusters open to expose a chartreuse yellow interior, reminiscent of a firecracker exploding. This perennial produces its primary display in early summer and flowers sporadically through the remainder of the growing season. It can grow 12-18 inches tall. Indian pink is an adaptable species, but does prefer neutral, well-drained soils to develop its best displays. The bright flowers attract hummingbirds and brighten the woodland edge or perennial border
Hardiness Zones: 6-9

These are not full grown plants. They are bulbs / root systems to be planted, that will grow into the plants pictured.
Bulbs are shipped dormant and can take anywhere from 1 month to the next growing season to sprout. If you wish to see a quicker turnaround, I suggest buying a plant that is already growing.
Because I have no control over how bulbs/root systems are cared for once they leave me, I cannot refund or replace for any reason other than them being damaged upon arrival. I do send out healthy bulbs and root systems from plants that have already flowered, and they should grow with the proper care.
