Blood Red Dragons Tongues

Lobelia cardinalis 'Queen Victoria'

RHS Award of Garden Merit

Quite Sensational! For garden planting in the open border, bog garden or as a pond marginal plant. Improving year on year this remarkable perennial produces very striking crimson red foliage - a feature in itself. But come July/August the crowning beauty are the spikes of flowers standing 2-3 feet tall that bear the most brilliant crimson red flowers you did ever see. True Victorian splendour! What's more, it is a long lasting excellent cut flower and looks most impressive in a crystal vase.

Grows to approximately 2-3 ft tall.
