Growing Tips:

Plant in a position that receives full sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. Lobelia Starship Scarlet thrives in reliably moist conditions and benefits from regular watering during dry spells, particularly when grown in containers. Mulch around the base in autumn to help protect the crown over winter. Deadhead spent flower spikes to encourage a longer flowering display. Divide established clumps every two to three years in spring to maintain vigour.
