Great Blue Lobelia, Blue Cardinal Flower. This is quite a tough, hardy and reliable Lobelia which, although not long lived, will cheerfully seed itself around any bit of wet ground. The flower spikes are relatively dense, up to 3 feet tall and are crowded with flowers of a really intense sky blue. It comes from moist to wet soils in Canada and North America and will grow in sun or shade. Its specific epithet 'siphilitica' comes from its supposed efficacy in curing the disease Syphilis, for which it was prescribed by the North American Indians. However all parts of the plant are in fact rather toxic if eaten and really quite dangerous in large quantities.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or over
