Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Plant in full sun for the most intense flower production or partial shade for a more relaxed look. While it thrives in at least six hours of sun, provide afternoon shade in hotter Southern climates to prevent the leaves from scorching.
  • Soil: This variety loves rich and moist soil that drains well to prevent soggy feet. If you have heavy clay, mix in some organic compost to improve drainage, or add peat moss to sandy soil to help it hold onto moisture.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist for the first year while your plant establishes its root system. Once mature, Ragin Cajun is surprisingly drought tolerant, but irregular watering can lead to smaller blooms or a shorter flowering window. Think of it like keeping a sponge damp rather than soaking wet to keep those tubular flowers coming all summer.

Pruning Tips

This perennial blooms on new wood, so you do not have to worry about accidentally cutting off next year's flower buds. In late winter or very early spring, cut the old stems back to the ground to make room for fresh growth. You can also deadhead spent flowers in midsummer to encourage a second flush of those bright orange and yellow stars.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring just as the first green shoots emerge from the soil. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer or early fall because this encourages soft growth that can be damaged by the first frost. A single application in the spring is usually all this low maintenance native needs to thrive.
