Spigelia marilandica ‘Orange Slices’ (Spigelia)
‘Orange Slices’ is a standout native perennial that brings bright, hummingbird-loving color to the late spring and early summer landscape. Tubular orange-red flowers bloom for weeks, drawing in pollinators with their vivid tones and irresistible shape. This long-lived woodland species thrives in sun to shade—more blooms appear in full sun, but plants appreciate extra moisture in brighter exposures. In the South, filtered light helps keep foliage looking fresh.
Why it’s a Creekside Champion™:
A naturally versatile plant, Spigelia grows in woodlands, streambanks, cottage gardens, and modern landscapes. The “Slices” series is self-cleaning, dropping old blooms neatly rather than leaving them on the stems, and ‘Orange Slices’ stays slightly shorter than its companion ‘Apple Slices.’ Highly sought after and still uncommon in cultivation, this native gem deserves a place in every pollinator-friendly garden.
