Description
The Blue Selection Cardinal Flower is perfect for moist, shaded areas in Massachusetts gardens. This compact perennial showcases bright blue blooms with larger flower heads and shorter stalks than typical Lobelia. Often found along woodland paths, it’s a natural choice for planting beside streams or garden ponds. The Blue Selection Cardinal Flower adds rich color and attracts pollinators all summer long.
Massachusetts gardeners looking for reliable plants in damp or wet soils will love the Blue Selection Cardinal Flower. It thrives in consistent moisture and pairs beautifully with ferns, heuchera, or other shade-loving perennials. Its vivid blue blooms contrast dramatically with green foliage and add a touch of wild beauty to any landscape. Ideal for naturalistic plantings or pollinator-friendly designs.
Each plant comes in a #1 (1 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
