Thompson and Morgan Lobelia Plug Plant 6 Pack

Bring a vibrant late summer flourish to your garden with these tall, deep maroon Lobelia cardinalis. Their glowing scarlet blooms offer a stunning contrast when other plants begin to fade. Perfect for filling gaps in borders, or adding a touch of exotic beauty to ponds and streams – ideal for cottage, wildlife, or water gardens. These hardy perennials thrive in sheltered sunny or partially shaded spots with consistently moist, fertile soil. They are even happy in boggy conditions, making them perfect for planting near water features. For best results, cut back old foliage in autumn and add a protective mulch of bark chips or straw to safeguard the crown over winter. To maintain vigour, divide these short-lived perennials every two years in spring. Please note: this plant is a skin and eye irritant. Mature height: 90cm (36in); spread: 30cm (12in).
