Description / Lobelia Starship™ Scarlet Cardinal Flower
Lobelia Starship™ Scarlet Cardinal Flower is a compact, well-branched perennial prized for its vivid scarlet red flower spikes and tidy, upright habit. Perfect for borders, walkways, and mass plantings, it delivers bold color with a clean, uniform look.
This water-loving plant thrives in rain gardens, moist soils, and waterside landscapes, making it ideal for planting near ponds, streams, or low-lying areas. It also performs beautifully in part sun to partial shade, adding vibrant interest to harder-to-fill spaces.
Blooming in its first year, Lobelia Starship™ Scarlet Cardinal Flower produces long-lasting red blooms that attract hummingbirds and pollinators while remaining deer resistant. Strong stems and improved branching create a naturally bushy, columnar form?no staking or pruning required.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, this hardy Cardinal Flower thrives in rich, consistently moist soil and tolerates wet conditions with ease. A standout choice for adding brilliant color to rain gardens and perennial borders.
