In this video I give you a few reasons why you shouldn't deadhead your Cardinal Flower plant, Lobelia, in the late summer / early autumn. Deadheading does produce new blossoms but by late summer the plant needs to conserve energy to get ready for its winter hibernation.
Do you have a Cardinal Flower? Do you deadhead it in the late summer?

Just discovered your channel today and am learning so much. Thanks for all of your informative and beautiful videos!
Thank you for your kind comment. Happy gardening. 🍁
Thank you for the helpful tips! My hummingbirds love my Cardinal flowers. They provide a good source of nectar.
I love looking out my window and seeing the scarlet red stalks. Happy gardening ❤️
Today I pulled out the stalk and thought it would work like my lilies did. But there were moist what seemed like Roots at the base when I pulled the tall thing out.
That’s ok if the stalk was passed blooming. This years growth and blooms will come from the basal green growth at the base. You can plant the stalk in a humus rich potting mixture and set it inside in a sunny spot. It may take. 🪴
Thank you river lady ... we just purchased our 1st deep purple Cardinal plant. It's sheer beauty. We are researching how to care properly for our plant and we found you. thank you again
Hello thank you for commenting. Good luck with your cardinal plant just remember to keep it well watered and give it plenty of sun and the hummingbirds will come. Happy gardening🌻
