‘Starship Deep Rose’ Cardinal Flower has rose-pink tubular flowers that open along strong flowering stems in mid-summer, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators into autumn. For a garden or meadow that stays fairly moist, ‘Starship Deep Rose’ should be at the top of your list! The margins of a rain garden, water feature, pond, or quietly flowing stream are perfect for this North American native. Low-to mid-growing lanceolate foliage is a deep burnished green and provides a perfect foil to the rose-pink flowers. ‘Starship Deep Rose’ blooms earlier than most Lobelias – a terrific improvement upon a treasured native plant.

Description

(20-24”tall x 12-24” wide) With deep rose colored blooms, strong branching, and a vigorous but well-behaved habit, ‘Starship Deep Rose’ Cardinal Flower, also known as Lobelia, improves on the things we love about our native red Cardinal Flower, and then tops them all with an earlier summer flowering period. Hummingbirds and pollinators adore the brightly colored flowers of this moisture-loving perennial. ‘Starship Deep Rose’ Cardinal Flower is a terrific choice for the edge of a water feature. Plant Cardinal Flowers in a full sun to part-sun location in average-to rich soils that retain moisture. ‘Starship Deep Rose’ Cardinal Flower blooms earlier than most Lobelias, and thus allows the gardener to extend the color season slightly.

Arrived healthy and growing great

"Arrived healthy and growing great after planting in the garden."

— Keith M. (5/5)

Filling in the gap

"I'm using them in a perennial garden where I have a gap in blooms"

— No N. (5/5)

Few flower stalks

"I bought 2 of these plants and set aside 4' in my garden for them in an area that gets morning sun and afternoon shade. I mixed compost and worm castings in the soil and fertilized them every 2 weeks but they barely grew flower stalks. The color of the very few flowers that did grow was very pretty but the plants only grew about 1 foot wide and 12" tall and only 1 or 2 stalks at a time so the garden looked almost empty in that area. Hopefully, they live through the winter and flower better next year."

— Denise (2/5)

Not the best environment

"Houston Tx is extremely hot and VERY humid. It's not doing great for me. I think it's the climate. It's alive."

— Anita (3/5)

The plants are beginning to bloom, just love the color!

"The color plus the size will work will in most locations. I moved to Kentucky from Illinois and had to start over with a flower garden. The clay here is a challenge but flower don't seem too mind"

— Lynn (5/5)
