Plant information

Plant Description

Lobelia fulgens ‘Queen Victoria’ showcases stunning purple foliage and boasts vibrant red flowers that bloom from early summer to the end of autumn. Well-suited for both pots and borders, this variety is particularly attractive to bees, enhancing the biodiversity of your garden. As a tender perennial, it requires protection in a frost-free area. To stimulate additional flowering, it is recommended to deadhead once the initial flowering phase concludes. This practice not only maintains the plant’s aesthetic appeal but also encourages a prolonged display of its striking red blossoms.
