Queen Victoria Lobelia
Lobelia fulgens ‘Queen Victoria’
4-inch pot
 
A bold and dramatic perennial, Queen Victoria lobelia is prized for its deep burgundy foliage and striking spikes of vivid scarlet-red flowers. The intense color combination creates a strong vertical accent in the garden, especially in mid to late summer when many other plants begin to fade. The flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds, adding both visual and ecological interest.
 
This variety thrives in consistently moist to wet soil and performs especially well in full sun to part shade. It is an excellent choice for rain gardens, pond edges, and borders where soil moisture can be maintained. Rich soil and regular watering will keep the plant lush and encourage the best flowering display.
