Lobelia "Starship Scarlet" Cardinal Flower

Dramatic scarlet-red flowers rise on dark stems. A well-branched narrow 8-10” habit offers a columnar appearance to boldly add color where no perennial has fit before. Well-suited for use in rain gardens, around ponds and streams and other moist areas. Spires will live long and prosper from mid-summer into fall. A must-have perennial. Resistance is futile!

Lobelia Starship Scarlet is a bushy plant with bronze-green foliage. Often seen along woodland paths but will still offer strong performance in perennial beds and border gardens with moist, well-drained soil. The Starship Series will handle more sun than classic varieties; however, some shade is beneficial when sited in drier locations. Pairs well with Ferns or Heuchera.
