Native to my property here in Central Alabama, on a mountain at elev 1400. This flower grows in rocky, acid, thin soils in the woods and in semi shade. It transplants easily. It likes the same conditions as Ebony Spleenwort.

Native to my property here in SE Missouri. This flower grows in rocky, acid, thin soils in the woods. It transplants easily, and also comes up from seed casually thrown around when I cut the plants back after blooming. Likes the same conditions as Ebony Spleenwort (fern) so I grow them together. They are more compact and have deeper color during warmer springs. This year we had a long cool spring and they were lanky and more pink instead of shocking true red.

I transplanted this plant from Jasper Georgia where I found it growing on top of a mountain at 3000' elv. It seems to like where I have it in Marietta where it has grown to a nice sized clump and returns each year with more blooms. This plant like most wild flowers requires little or no special care and average water needs.
