Lobelia excelsa is an impressive evergreen shrub known as the Chilean Lobelia; a burst of botanical brilliance that captivates with its incredible stature and stunning color scheme. Floating atop elongated branches are pointy, dark green foliage characterized by a glossy finish, beautifully contrasting against spectacular displays of tubular red flowers. This architectural marvel blossoms in the heart of the summer season, enduring well into early autumn, and stands tall from 2 to 4 meters. Born in the wild forests of the Andes, the Chilean Lobelia thrives in diverse garden settings, basking under full sun to partial shade. Grounding itself in well-drained, richly organic soil, it exhibits a remarkable hardiness to frost, making it an exceptional centerpiece for landscapes in cooler climates.
