About Lobelia Seeds - Scarlet Bronze Leaf

Lobelia speciosa

Seed Type Hybrid Seed
Plant Type Starship
Also known as Edging Lobelia, Garden Lobelia, Trailing Lobelia

Also known as Cardinal Flower, this North American native wildflower is a must-grow for your perennial garden or pollinator patch. This scarlet-flowered cultivar’s common name references the red vestments worn by cardinals in the Catholic Church. The divine contrast between blood-red blooms and dark bronze foliage sanctifies any landscape, drawing hummingbirds and other pollinators to drink from the nectar-rich blooms. Two feet tall at most, Scarlet Bronze Leaf lobelia is perfect for flower beds, borders, and even containers.
