Lobelia siphilitica ‘White Candles’ at Digging Dog
Cardinal Flower
In the dog days of August, just when the border is not looking so lively, this genus of colorful, stately selections rejuvenates the garden with spectacular leafy flowering spires, attracting crowds of eager hummingbirds. Perfect in meadow plantings, these sturdy herbaceous perennials appreciate a
well drained site, a light winter mulching, rich, moist soils and partial shade in warm climates, except for Lobelia tupa and Lobelia laxiflora, which like it hot and on the dry side. Lobelia siphilitica ‘White Candles’
Dressed in a crisp snowy white, the profusely flowered tapers of this Lobelia stand in sharp relief to its dark green foliage. A newly selected form of our U.S. native, ‘White Candles’s small, compact stature keeps its lift all season, lending a clean and classic look, especially when partnered with
Geranium ‘Orion’.
Blooms July–August. Size: 18"–20" high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 5. Lobelia siphilitica ‘White Candles’ (p-1237) Each $7.00
