Hi Isabelle,
You may be too far north for cardinal flower to do well (catskills?)  Here in
Tennessee it is indeed everywhere, and even in my yard in Nashville which
turns into a brick in summer they are almost six feet tall.

Lobelia cardinalis, the species, is hardy at least into usda zone 3 and is found in mid-northern Ontario growing naturally. They do grow underwater if a spring or summer flooding. They will also grow for an amazingly long time as an aquarium plant. :-)
