Caring for cardinal flowers

Water your growing cardinal flowers deeply in the absence of rain.

Fertilize the plants in fall with a shovelful of compost for each plant or a general purpose fertilizer. Cardinal flowers begin blooming in early summer and peak in mid- to late summer. Clip out the flower stems when they are done blooming, or leave them in place if you want the plants to self-sow.
