  Watched about 10 minutes  of TV this AM on a garden program.  They
depicted this shade loving red flowered plant which I just ordered  from
parks . Likes to zone 4.  Hope it propagates easily.   1 3 inch pot with
shipping $25  :((

Indian Pink
Spigelia marilandica

I'd been wanting this for years and found it this spring at a local nursery.
Snapped up three pots (extra deep 4").  I think they were 6.99 (or
maybe 7.99).  

They actually bloomed this year.  Rather nice.  Hope they survive and
spread out a bit.
