Plant Description

Lobelia ‘FanShip Burgundy’ is a captivating clump-forming perennial, celebrated for its deep red-bronze leaves and striking Burgundy flowers. Its commanding height makes it a pivotal choice for adding vertical interest to your garden border. Given its status as a tender perennial, it necessitates protection in frost-prone areas and is best kept in a frost-free environment. To ensure a continuous display of blooms, it is advisable to deadhead once the initial flowering phase concludes. This maintenance practice encourages additional flowering, contributing to the perennial’s overall beauty.
