Here is one of my two spigelia in what is likely full bloom. (I am sure it would be more impressive if it received more direct sunlight).

(This plant does have a bit of a reputation for being a bit iffy returning in the spring, depending on your zone, but I do encourage you to give it a try. My two had no problem surviving last year's Polar Vortex ;) in my zone 4/5. (Planting nearer a foundation wall will definitely help.))
