Cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis) is one of the most spectacular native flowers, known for its striking clusters of scarlet red flowers that immediately draw attention. In masses, its effect is even more impressive, adding a vibrant splash of colour to gardens. It typically reaches up to 120 cm in height and prefers cool, moist soils, making it an excellent choice for riverbanks, shores, and marshes. Highly attractive to hummingbirds and swallowtail butterflies (genus Papilio), this plant provides abundant nectar that supports pollinator wildlife while enhancing aquatic or humid landscapes.
Sociability index: 2 → Indicates the plant’s behaviour in space and its interactions with other plants.
Ecological Roles
Cardinal flower plays an important ecological role by attracting pollinators such as hummingbirds and Papilio butterflies, which rely on its nectar. It thrives in cool, moist soils, making it ideal for water edges and wetland areas in Quebec. By incorporating this plant to gardens, we support local biodiversity, particularly native pollinator species, while adding a burst of bright colour.
Cardinal flower seeds require cold stratification to ensure germination. See the growing notes below for more details.
