Spigelia gentianoides - NOT OUTSIDE NC (Pink Indian Pink)

Sun to Part SunZone: 5-10 5" tall Origin: USA

Web-Only! New crop available 9-4-2008 Finally, we have an Indian pink that is really pink. Spigelia gentianoides is one of the finest plants we grow in our rock garden. Native to only a small population in AL and another in the Florida Panhandle, this Federally Endangered native makes a small clump, to 1' wide, that is topped with rich pink, gentian-like flowers from late May through June. For us, S. gentianoides continues to flower sporadically throughout the summer. Combine easy to grow, easy to propagate, drought-tolerant, pest-free, great flowers, and small stature...who could want for more? Our original specimens were propagated from the AL population via tissue culture, and now by cuttings. Because of its status as endangered, this plant cannot be shipped outside of NC. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
