Vulcan Red Lobelia

Vibrant red flowers on tall spikes contrast with the dark purple green foliage on this cultivar of the native red-flowered lobelia from late summer to the middle of fall. A great selection for sunny locations with moist to wet soils—edges of ponds or stream banks. It attracts hummingbirds and other late summer pollinators.
