Spigelia marilandica 'Ragin Cajun' (Indian Pink 'Ragin Cajun') is a standout native-style perennial prized for its bright, two-tone flowers and tidy, upright habit. In late spring into early summer, the plant produces clusters of tubular, scarlet-red blooms that open to reveal a glowing yellow, star-like throat - a color combination that reads clearly from a distance and draws pollinators, especially hummingbirds.

Plant Indian Pink 'Ragin Cajun' where you can enjoy the show up close: along a woodland edge, in a lightly shaded border, or mixed into a pollinator planting. It performs best with morning sun and afternoon shade, but it will also grow in full sun if the soil stays evenly moist. It can handle more shade too, though flowering is often strongest with at least a few hours of light.

This cultivar forms a clump rather than running, making it easy to tuck between other perennials. Expect mature height around 20-24 inches, with a similar spread. Provide rich, well-drained soil with regular moisture, especially during establishment and in summer heat. A layer of compost and a light mulch help moderate moisture and temperature.

Maintenance is simple: remove spent stems after bloom if you want a neater look, or lightly deadhead to keep the plant tidy and potentially encourage a little extra flowering. Cut back to the crown after frost and let it return fresh in spring. Like many ornamentals, all parts should be considered not for consumption.
