For some reason I have a bunch of them in my bed in the front that was just started last year.

I don't have any here but I thought they bloomed in the spring at my last house. <br />I was glad to learn of the red cardinal lobelia. I plant 1st for the hummingbirds and butterflys and only knew of the blue lobelia. Another one for my list!Colleen Wmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651906676578939713noreply@blogger.com
