Lobelia
‘Grape Knee-Hi’
at Digging Dog
Cardinal Flower
In the dog days of August, just when the border is not looking so lively, this genus of colorful, stately selections rejuvenates the garden with spectacular leafy flowering spires, attracting crowds of eager hummingbirds. Perfect in meadow plantings, these sturdy herbaceous perennials appreciate a
well drained site, a light winter mulching, rich, moist soils and partial shade in warm climates, except for Lobelia tupa and Lobelia laxiflora, which like it hot and on the dry side. Lobelia ‘Grape Knee-Hi’ 
While maintaining a good form has been an age-old problem for many Lobelias, Dan Heim’s new, small-statured Lobelia cardinalis and Lobelia siphilitica backcross has brilliantly solved this dilemma. Painted in vibrant, deep purple hues, the long lasting and freely flowering, tightset spikes crown upright stalks and good-looking, compact foliage that stands on its own all season!
Blooms July–August. Size: 22" high x 18"–2' wide; hardy to zone 5. Lobelia Grape Knee-Hi (P-1190)
Each $6.50
