Lobelia Cardinalis syn.Lobelia fulgens ; Lobelia splendens

#cardinalflower despite the drought these are doing relatively well. I have lots of young new plants this year.

Do these self-seed for you @laketitlow ?

@emch. I let them go to seed then take the plant and shake it vigorously to spread the seeds. It worked too. Lots of new ones this year. I do this with my angelica so I have flowering angelica each year.

Beautiful color😍

I can't seem to keep them even one year! @gjones this year is my 3rd try in various places and they just dont like it here

@gjones @lesliecole491 don't really know why they keep coming back except I have a high water table maybe. Although the one in the front garden is a lot dryer than the backyard gardens. My arrowheads did not come back this year sadly. Maybe that has to do with this drought we are having.

I have a high water table too as a matter of fact! Doesn't help me any! Lol
