3 or 6 Lobelia Upright Starship Scarlet Plants, Hardy Perennial Summer Bedding, 1 Litre Root-Ball

Bring vibrant scarlet colour to your garden with this striking collection of three Lobelia Starship Scarlet plants. Part of the popular Starship series, this upright perennial lobelia produces tall, elegant flower spikes densely packed with tubular, rich scarlet-red blooms throughout summer and into early autumn. A fantastic choice for borders, beds, containers and waterside planting, Starship Scarlet adds bold vertical interest and is a magnet for bees, butterflies and other pollinators.

Bred for improved garden performance, the Starship series offers excellent hardiness and vigour compared to many other perennial lobelia varieties. The upright, clump-forming habit and eye-catching flower spikes make it an ideal companion for mixed herbaceous plantings or as a standout feature in patio containers. These plants are supplied as three established 1 litre root-ball plants, ready to plant out and enjoy.

Growing Tips:

Plant in a position that receives full sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. Lobelia Starship Scarlet thrives in reliably moist conditions and benefits from regular watering during dry spells, particularly when grown in containers. Mulch around the base in autumn to help protect the crown over winter. Deadhead spent flower spikes to encourage a longer flowering display. Divide established clumps every two to three years in spring to maintain vigour.
