For context, I’m 5’10”. 😅 I genuinely didn’t know they could get up to 6 feet tall, but this big boi has just kept growing. We’ve had a really wet couple of months in central NC, so these plants are loving life.
I planted this right next to my scarlet rose mallow to create the hummingbird equivalent of a Golden Corral.

Holy crap! What are the soil and sun conditions where you planted it? I feel like my only option is maybe putting one by my downspout that faces West by my button bush if I were to try establishing cardinal flower permanently?
