Product Description
Lobelia speciosa STARSHIP™ Rose (30)ct Flat
STARSHIP™ Series
Common Name: Cardinal Flower, Hybrid Lobelia
Developed by Kieft Seeds, the STARSHIP™ Series is an improvement on older cultivars with first year flowering plants, earlier flowering, better branching, and higher quality finished plants. Rose flowers over deep green foliage. Replaces Lobelia s. STARSHIP™ Deep Rose.
The perfect plant for damp locations such as near ponds or low-lying areas, Lobelia will easily adapt to 'wet feet' but can also tolerate well-drained soils. L. speciosa is more adaptable than other Lobelias to various soil types and moisture levels. If enough moisture is available, it will thrive in the sun. In drier soils, it should be planted in part shade. Deadheading spent blooms will improve the overall appearance of the plant and may promote reblooming. It's a good idea to cut this plant back in the spring instead of the fall, since the foliage will help protect the root zone in the winter. Mulch is also recommended.
