Cardinal Flower / Scarlet Flower

Lobelia cardinalis


Best planted near the water edge to reflect the glorious colour of the brilliant red flowers against the green foliage. Harmful if eaten.

This plant is not hardy to UK winters, so bring inside to protect from frost or replace the following year with new plants.

The recommended depth in water is calculated as the distance between the top of the basket and the water surface. Therefore "0" would be the basket rim at the water surface.

This plant is supplied in a standard plastic plant pot. It will benefit from being repotted into a mesh basket. See our range here.
