Lobelia Cardinalis ‘Queen Victoria’

Description

Stunning spikes of scarlet, five-petalled flowers rise up in late summer among beautiful, beetroot-coloured foliage. This gorgeous cardinal flower brings a splash of vibrant colour to the garden just as many perennials are fading. It is excellent for filling gaps left by early-flowering perennials in a mixed or herbaceous border and suits a planting scheme based on ‘hot’ colours. This moisture-loving plant can also be grown at the edges of a pond, and will tolerate water levels up to 30cm deep if potted up it into a basket with

9cm perennial

Planting: Water thoroughly before planting and until well established

Position: Full sun or partial shade

Flowering: August – October
