This showy wildflower is notable for its unique floral display, which has the appearance of a profusion of miniature, brilliant red and yellow firecrackers. Native to moist woodlands and shady stream banks from Maryland to Indiana south to Texas and Florida, Indian Pink is best when massed in woodland gardens and shady borders. It was one of many native herbaceous plants “sent to Europe for Mr. Pierepont by John and William Bartram” of Philadelphia in 1784, and Philadelphia nurseryman Bernard McMahon recommended Spigelia marilandica in The American Gardener’s Calendar (1806), calling it Carolina Pink-root.
