Cardinal Flower occurs in New York from Buffalo to the Adirondack Park in especially sunny, wet areas like stream and pond edges. The plants need wet, rich soil, and will self-seed, establishing healthy colonies as long as there are proper conditions. The plants last just a few years but make millions of tiny seeds. The brilliant red blooms attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
