Lobelia cardinalis 'Starship Scarlet' / CARDINAL FLOWER
Lobelia cardinalis 'Starship Scarlet,' commonly known as Cardinal Flower, is a vibrant perennial that features tall, upright spikes of brilliant scarlet-red flowers, creating a striking visual display in mid to late summer. The tubular flowers, which attract hummingbirds and butterflies, are set against the plant's rich green, lance-shaped foliage, adding both color and texture to the landscape. 'Starship Scarlet' thrives in moist, well-drained soils and performs best in partial shade to full sun, making it an ideal choice for garden beds, rain gardens, or along pond edges where the soil remains consistently damp. Known for its compact size compared to other Cardinal Flower varieties, it fits beautifully in smaller spaces or containers while still providing dramatic, eye-catching blooms. Hardy and low-maintenance, Lobelia cardinalis 'Starship Scarlet' is a reliable addition to any garden, offering long-lasting color and attracting pollinators to enhance the garden's biodiversity.
