Description

(Spigelia) Add some fiery blooms to your garden with 'Orange Slices' Spigelia! This Spigelia features red and orange blooms that stand atop tall, deep red stems with complimenting green foliage. Spigelia is a highly sought-after native perennial for its unique structure and blooms, as well as its versatility in the garden. Hardy in zones 5b-9, it is easy to grow and can be grown in full sun to part shade locations. Once the blooms are spent, it self-cleans by dropping the blooms to the ground instead of clinging to the stem. Average to consistent watering is recommended, especially when grown in full sun. 'Orange Slices' Spigelia blooms in late spring and lasts long into midsummer. It can grow to about 16-20 inches tall and is about 16-18 inches wide. It keeps a tidy, upright habit. Hummingbirds love the tubular blooms on this plant and are sure to stop by and visit. 'Orange Slices' is slightly shorter than its sibling 'Apple Slices', and its flowers are more orange in color. Plant as a specimen plant in the garden or as part of a mixed border. It pairs excellently with achillea, baptisia, penstemon, sedum, and salvia. 'Orange Slices' Spigelia is a Proven Winners® Perennial.

Reviews

Just amazing! After using 3 other online garden shops this year, I happened upon a Social Media post on Garden Crossings. Since I am putting in a new perennial garden, I decided to give these guys a try. I ordered 8 plants and received them today. each one arrived beautifully packed, healthy, and even blooming in some cases.
From other online retailers, I have received plants that were smashed, the dirt wasnt in the pots anymore, they were cut down to nubbins to fit in their boxes, or they were pathetically tiny. Sometimes they were just dead.
Not so with Garden Crossings. I am now a huge fan of theirs and will not hesitate to order from them again in the future.

Im also hoping this plant lives ! The dirt was mistly out of the container but contained in the brown paper .it was very small as well ! Hoping it lives !

Lost

Between rabbits and deer, nothing left. Waste of money and time.

Hi Elaine, we're sorry to hear about your experience. No, this plant is not listed as deer or rabbit-resistant. We would recommend a product like Plant Skyyd or Bobbix, if someone still wants to try something and has critter pressure.
