Plant Features

Queen Victoria Lobelia Plant is expected to become a favorite Cardinal Flower for gardeners who have unmanageable, boggy areas in their yards in which nothing but the frogs and turtles can survive! Above grassy, lance-shaped foliage that emerges green but changes to a luscious reddish-bronze, burgundy spires are adorned with scarlet-red blossoms. Though it will tolerate standing water for short periods of time, you can also plant it in areas that only receive average amounts of water. Plant this specimen and then wait for the hummingbirds to flock to your yard. They love it! Shade Tolerant.

Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant in spring after the last frost date

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 5.5-6.5

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season

Pruning and Maintenance:

  • - Trim back leggy growth to encourage a more compact shape

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Generally pest-free

Light Requirements:

  • - Thrives in cool, shaded areas but will tolerate more sun in cooler climates

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - May struggle in extreme heat; provide shade during the hottest part of the day

Companion Plants for Lobelia:

  • - Alyssum: The low-growing, fragrant blooms of Alyssum complement Lobelia’s vibrant colors
  • - Calibrachoa: These trailing plants create a stunning cascade effect when paired with Lobelia in containers
  • - Impatiens: Shade-loving Impatiens make an excellent partner for Lobelia in shaded garden beds
  • - Begonias: The rich, bold colors of Begonias complement the delicate blooms of Lobelia
