When in bloom, the flower spikes can rise several feet above surrounding vegetation, creating one of the most dramatic vertical accents in a native garden.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The tubular red flowers are especially well suited to hummingbirds, which are among the plant's most conspicuous visitors.

Its tall stalks carry numerous tubular red flowers that provide nectar during the late spring and summer flowering period. Butterflies, bees, and other pollinators also visit the flowers.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e🌱 Where it thrives\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Plant Standing Cypress in full sun with well-drained soil. It is especially well suited to sunny prairie gardens, rocky sites, open native plantings, and other locations where excess moisture does not accumulate.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHummingbird gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePollinator gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrairie and meadow plantings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNaturalistic landscapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDry, sunny borders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eXeriscapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prefers well-drained soil and performs well in rocky, sandy, or otherwise relatively lean soils.

Young plants typically develop a low leafy rosette before producing their tall flowering stalks. Individual plants may decline after flowering, but they can reseed and establish new generations where growing conditions are favorable.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  For a continuing population, allow at least some flowering stalks to mature and release seed before cutting them back. Because seedlings may appear in slightly different locations from year to year, Standing Cypress is especially well suited to prairie, meadow, and naturalistic garden designs.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e💧 Water (establishment note)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Water regularly during establishment while allowing the soil to drain between waterings. Once established, Standing Cypress is drought tolerant and generally requires little supplemental irrigation.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePickup Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Order online and select a pickup time at checkout.
