The flowers have beautiful bright crimson spurs surrounding a tall spike. The foliage is bright green and turns bronze in fall. They grow in full sun to part shade, and love moist soil. Tall plants may need staking, but they bloom even if they fall over. Cut back flower stalks for repeat blooming. They are reliable bloomers, and this variety is more drought tolerant than most Cardinal Flowers. They tend to be short lived, but will self-seed, giving you years of enjoyment. Very little care is needed for these beauties, they are very hardy. I believe the "strong shall survive" in my garden. You will appreciate my motto!
