Lobelia Starship™ Scarlet Cardinal Flower

The low, uniform, and well-controlled habit makes Lobelia Starship™ Scarlet Cardinal Flower plant look great in rows, along walkways, or in the middle of the border. Because it is a water-lover, it is also well-suited for rain gardens or for landscaping around ponds and streams. Great for cutting, these flowers also add welcome color to the partly-shaded garden. A trouble-free pleasure to grow.

This Cardinal Flower is also delightfully maintenance free. This sturdy cultivar has improved branching, giving it an attractive, bushy and columnar form without the need for any pruning or staking.

Flowering the first year, these lovely scarlet blooms add spires of color over a long season as well as attracting hummingbirds to sip their nectar. Thankfully, deer tend to avoid it. What a contribution to the sunny garden.

Lobelia Starship™ Scarlet Cardinal Flower thrives in moist, organic soil, and can even thrive in the damper soil of waterside locations. Very easy to grow, it is hardy as well as colorful.
