Bring bold colour and height to the garden with Lobelia ‘Starship Scarlet’, a striking upright perennial with vivid scarlet-red flowers and beautifully dark bronze-green foliage.

Flowering from summer into early autumn, its tall stems create a dramatic display in borders, patio pots and mixed planting schemes. The brightly coloured, nectar-rich flowers are also a welcome source of food for bees, butterflies and other visiting pollinators.

Plant in full sun or partial shade and keep the soil consistently moist, particularly during warm weather. Unlike the small bedding lobelia commonly used in baskets, this variety forms a tall, upright clump and can reach approximately 60–90cm once established.

Common names: Scarlet Lobelia, Upright Lobelia
