We saw this plant growing in the Botanical Gardens in Memphis this past weekend. I want it for my garden. It is a shade plant but I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know what it is and where to get it?

Hi Shaneyzewski,
That would be the wonderful US native Spigelia marilandica aka Spigelia marylandica aka Indian pink aka pinkroot.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
