The blooms are bright red on the outside with yellow centers that open like little stars at the tips. They stand above clean, dark green foliage and bring a bold pop of color to the garden without taking up much room. Little Redhead is a strong choice for American gardeners who want something different from the usual summer perennials. It has a neat, upright habit and works beautifully in mixed borders, native plant gardens, pollinator plantings, woodland edges, and partly shaded beds. The red and yellow flowers look almost tropical, but the plant is hardy and returns year after year in suitable climates. One of the best things about Spigelia Little Redhead is its flexibility. It can grow in full sun to part shade, though in hotter parts of the USA it will usually look best with afternoon shade. It prefers soil that stays evenly moist but drains well. Rich garden soil with organic matter will help it settle in and flower well. Little Redhead is hardy in USDA Zones 5 to 9, with red flowers that have yellow interiors, low maintenance needs, and strong hummingbird appeal. This is also a wonderful plant for gardeners trying to support wildlife. The tubular flowers are made for hummingbirds, and the bright color makes them easy to spot in the border. Plant it near hostas, ferns, heuchera, columbine, astilbe, carex, woodland phlox, or spring bulbs for a natural, layered planting that still feels colorful. Spigelia marilandica Little Redhead is especially useful in gardens where you want color but not a messy plant. It forms tidy clumps, stays compact, and does not overwhelm its neighbors. Redhead gets about 24 to 28 inches tall with a spread of 20 to 24 inches, with an upright habit and dark green foliage.  For gardeners looking for a native perennial with real personality, Spigelia Little Redhead Indian Pink is a standout. It is bright, compact, hummingbird friendly, and far less common than many border perennials. Plant it once in the right spot, and it can become one of those plants people ask about every year.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpigelia marilandica Little Redhead is a hardy perennial commonly known as Indian Pink.
