Planting and Care:

Plant in a position that receives full sun to partial shade, in moist, fertile and well-drained soil. Lobelia Starship Deep Rose thrives in reliably moist conditions and benefits from regular watering during dry spells. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants in spring to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. In colder regions, a protective winter mulch can help insulate the crown. Cut back spent flower stems after flowering to encourage a tidy habit and potential secondary flush of blooms.

Notes: Available in Deep Rose – a rich, warm pink tone that pairs beautifully with blues, purples and silver-foliaged companion plants.
