{"product_id":"spigelia-marilandica-ragin-cajun","title":"Spigelia marilandica Ragin Cajun","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpigelia marilandica 'Ragin Cajun' is a 2016 Plant Delights\/JLBG introduction of a selection we made in 2000 while botanizing near St. Francisville, Louisiana. In the garden, it makes a 20\" tall, compact clump topped, starting in mid-May (NC), with flower clusters that are much more orange-red compared to the blood red of the other forms in the trade. Also, Spigelia 'Ragin Cajun' produces nearly 1\/3 more flower heads than other forms we've grown, resulting in a denser clump...truly spectacular!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSpigelia marilandica is an extremely low maintenance plant. Really all that is necessary is to cut it to the ground after frost turns it brown in late fall. Though a long-established plant could be divided, Spigelia is not a plant which requires periodic division to rejuvenate older plants. Left to its own devices, and with decent growing conditions, it should improve every year; each year bringing more stems and thus more flowers. Spigelia marilandica also stays put, it never needs to be reigned in since it doesn't travel anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSpigelia marilandica is most often encountered as a woodland plant, though like many shade tolerant plants it will also thrive in full sun where it will grow stronger and bloom more. So it is a superb plant for either light shade or full sun. It will grow well in average soils that range from dry to moist.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eNatural Impact:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSpigelia marilandica is very showy in bloom and its floral display is the reason to grow it. Its foliage is tidy, though not terribly interesting. The floral tube is a bright clear red and the petals are bright yellow where they divide and reflex open at the throat of the floral tube. The effect is yellow stars against a red background, one that attracts hummingbirds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21028675397,"sku":"8718","price":22.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Spigelia-marilandica-Ragin-Cajun.i-8718.s-68575.r-1_06ab9f16-3e63-4ea9-836a-b5ae5b776f26.jpg?v=1791483413","url":"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/products\/spigelia-marilandica-ragin-cajun","provider":"Plant Delights Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
