Lobelia Cardinalis 5cm Pot

Lobelia cardinalis, commonly called Cardinal Flower, is a striking aquatic specimen prized for its dramatic foliage and vibrant blooms. The plant displays rich green to purple-tinged leaves that intensify when grown submerged, whilst aerial portions produce brilliant scarlet flowers. Ideally suited to shallow water environments and boggy conditions, it demands moderate to high illumination and develops gradually as a stem plant, reaching 10-30cm in height. Its architectural form makes it exceptional for framing pond margins or creating focal points within aquascapes, where it naturally establishes elegant linear patterns characteristic of contemporary Dutch aquarium design.
