Presenting an upright and clump-forming nature, this deciduous herbaceous perennial showcases finely toothed, lance-shaped leaves in a crisp light green hue. As summer gracefully shifts to autumn, the white-flowering variant of Lobelia siphilitica steals the spotlight. Delicate spikes of pure white tubular flowers adorn sturdy, upright stems, crafting an illuminating display in consistently moist or boggy garden environments.


  • Garden care:
    Plant out in reliably moist or boggy soil, or pot up into a pond basket and place at the margins of a pond in shallow water no deeper than 5cm (2"). A low maintenance plant, cut back foliage to ground/water level at the end of the year. Divide congested clumps in early spring every few years. Protect the crown of the plant during winter with a thick, dry mulch.
    • Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten; skin irritant
