They do stand out Eliza, a star burst among the fiery red one after another 🤗❤️🙏
And they flower for our Independence Day, mini-fireworks that don’t disturb anyone!
Haha, indeed they don’t. Win win for everyone 🤗❤️🙏
Wow…Love these!
Thank you, Sandy. I’m pretty smitten myself!
Stunning! Reminds me a little of Bird of Paradise.
Thank you, Jane. It is a flamboyant little plant, for sure!
It’s a beautiful flower, Eliza
Thank you, Hazel!
WOW!
Ha, yes, it certainly makes a statement. 🙂 Thanks, Cindy.
Fabulous
Merci, Sheree!
Stunning!
Thank you, Flavia! It’s a fun one.
Funky and fun!
Thanks, Dale. Those contrasting yellow stars against the red, wow! 🙂
They are so cool!
I’m pretty happy with it! 🙂
What an interesting & pretty flower! A Hummingbird attractor?
Looked up…yes! For the Hummingbirds!
Absolutely, they love it!
Lovely ❤ Thank you for this precious floral gift. Light and blessings to you and your garden 🙏✨🌻
Thank you, Susana! 💖
I love this plant! I’d love to have some whenever you have extra (I think we talked about this before).
I am sure I gave you a piece last year… it is late to emerge, is it possible you thought it gone?
No recollection of that…….??
Hmmm, I do remember dividing a piece… maybe to someone else?? Faulty circuits, argh!
I have never seen that flower. So pretty!
Thank you, Laurie. A native from the mid-Atlantic, but it does well here. I love it. 🙂
Dazzling! It looks like the flowers take turns coming out in line. Do all those tubes eventually bloom?
Yes, they do progressively open, allowing for a long bloom period. I love this plant!
They remind me of fireworks bursting with light. 😊
Yes, just in time for the 4th! 🎆
The only other time I’ve seen this was in Jason’s garden near Chicago. In the same way, I’ve seen our native Spigelia only twice. Yours are far more dramatic!
Thanks, Linda. This is a cultivar, so probably picked for its size and color. I noted there is a new variety for sale at the nursery. They are pretty pricey, so it’ll have to wait.
So pretty AND colorful! Happy mid-week.
Thank you, Monika! Now this the quiet kind of firecracker we can all get behind. 🙂
You inspired me to get some. Mine are still small but I look forward to seeing them bloom later this summer!
That’s terrific! This one I think is 3 years old (maybe four), and was slow to spread, but I think it is established now so should see more spread. It is very late to emerge in spring… I always have to hunt for it!
Definitely a favorite plant. Mine are blooming, too. 🙂
This one is about 3 years old and I still am thrilled with it. Love! 💖
I tried to grow them in Texas and my quick research said they were native there. I never had any luck. Do yours stay in the ground all winter?
Yes, zone 5-9 hardy. Maybe in your new garden?
That is why I’m asking. Checking out your plants. 🙂
👍🏼
Such a stylish plant!

Thanks, Kris. Fairly new on the nursery circuit and very popular!
Very striking against their green leaves!
Thank you, Belinda. Almost blue-green and they seem to be pest-free (hope I didn’t just jinx myself!)
I hope they remain that way!
Love! are they native?
Yes, they are, zone 5-9.
they look like they’ve just woken up – a bit like myself. 😀
And I don’t feed them coffee grounds either! 😉
Heh, heh, heh 😀
Such pretty flowers! Love their form and that color!
Thank you, Tina. I don’t have much red in my garden, but this one gets rave reviews. Love at first sight. 🙂
🤗🙌🏼🥰 drama! Beautiful!
Thank you, Susan!
I love this plant and your mini fireworks description!🙂
Thank you, aren’t they just the cutest little starbursts? 🙂
Lovely flowers, and pretty compositions in the three images.
Thank you very much, Tom. Enjoy the weather for the next few days, looks to be ideal!
what fabulous beauties – so good – thank you for sharing, I love them! Linda xx
Thank you, Linda!
super welcome!🌻
This flower is new to me, and so vibrant. What a splash it makes! Lovely bouquet, as always, Eliza, thank you.
Thank you, Jet!
So beautiful Thanks for sharing with us 🙂
Thank you, Deepa, my pleasure!
Blooms like Lucifer, so pretty.
Thank you, Eunice. Looking forward to seeing that bloom later on, too!
Lovely!
Thank you, Rupali!
Of fabulous. A new one for me. I don’t suppose it’s hardy.
Thanks, Liz. It is an eastern US native (zone 5-9), hardy to -20F. Lucky for me! I love it and it is proving pest and disease resistant, win-win.
Each time I visit your blog I get to see some gorgeous variety of blooms, often types I’ve never heard of, so thank you for the flower education!
Thank you, my pleasure!
What a vivid red!
It really stands out, esp. in the shade.
Beautiful, Eliza!
Thank you, Rebecca!
It looks very exotic.
Yes, like something from the jungle, but it is a zone 5-9 eastern native from the mid-Atlantic region. I saw it in a book on gardening with natives and fell in love with it. It took me a while to find one!
Good for you for persisting, Eliza. I would not have taken it for a native plant.
