Tall, red flowers cover this tall perennial in late summer and fall. Often founds in wet areas and streambanks, this plant prefers moist soils. Lobelia cardinalis (cardinal flower) acts as a larval host plant for several moths, including the Pink-washed Looper moth, Red-banded Leafroller moth, and the Greater Black-letter Dart moth. While primarily known as a nectar source for Swallowtail butterflies and hummingbirds, it supports a variety of pollinators. North American Native Plant.
