Lobelia tupa
A superlative focal point that blooms all summer long.
This gorgeous and architectural Chilean native lobelia rises to heights of six feet with creamy greyish green foliage and luscious lipstick red tubular flowers that last for ages and ages. Lobelia tupa is a plant I wouldn’t be without in my own garden.
