Lobelia 'Siphilitica' // Pre-Order

Pre-Order Now for Spring 2025 Pickup: Lobelia 'Siphilitica' (Blue Cardinal Flower)

A vivid native perennial that’s both pollinator-friendly and foolproof—now available for pre-order in 1-gallon size.

Lobelia siphilitica is a showy, bluish-purple native built for performance. Like its red cousin, it thrives in sunny, moist conditions and provides essential nectar to native long-tongued bees and hummingbirds. But this one brings a cooler tone to the garden—with bold spikes of color that echo the soft indigo of summer plumbago.

If you’re looking for structure, ease, and ecological benefit in one dependable perennial, this is it.
