The Gardener’s Answer
Hi, Peggy: Spigelia is a great native perennial; unfortunately it is not very commonly grown. You will have better luck finding it at garden centers that specialize in native plant material. I am not familiar with the garden centers or nurseries in your area so calling your local stores or contacting your County Extension Service for local suggestions will help get you on the right track. If your local centers do not typically carry this plant you can ask them if they would be willing to try to find it for you. If you have local farmers’ markets this might be a good place to look as well. The following are links to Dropseed Nursery and Shooting Star Nursery here in Kentucky, who both specialize in native seeds. I did not see it on their list of available seeds but if you contact them they may be able to find them for you. www.dropseednursery.com/seeds.html

If you cannot find it locally or through mail order, The Plant Kingdom in Louisville does carry this plant when available but we have not been able to find it recently. We would be happy to let you know when we do. Our phone number is (502) 893-7333.
