Pink Root (Spigelia marilandica), also known as Indian Pink and Woodland Pinkroot, is a late spring into early summer blooming wildflower here in the DC area. The distinctive red and yellow flowers stand out in the woods, or in a garden. Pink Root is native to much of the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States And if you are hoping to see hummingbirds in the garden, be sure to check out where the Pink Root is growing – hummingbirds love it!
