Lobelia Queen Victoria (Red leaved lobelia) - Marginal Pond Plants - MP068

Lobelia cardinalis, commonly known as cardinal flower 'Queen Victoria', is a clump-forming perennial with upright, lance-shaped green leaves forming dense foliage. In late summer it produces spikes of vivid deep red flowers, slightly darker than the species, creating a striking display along pond margins and in wet soils.

This cultivar is valued for its bold floral colour and support for wetland biodiversity, attracting pollinators such as bees. Its upright, clump-forming habit and preference for consistently moist or shallowly submerged soil make it ideal for pond edges, bog gardens, and naturalistic water features.
