Several clumps of cardinal flowers. I received an 'Alba' (white) plant in my order by mistake, but the hummingbirds don't care!

Seedling. Dark "evergreen" colored leaves in a wrinkled "cabbage" rosette. Sometimes has burgundy tinge. Prominant pale veins and a few "teeth" on the leaves. Transplant at this size as a "plug"
