{"product_id":"lobelia-cardinalis-pond-marginal-plant","title":"Lobelia cardinalis Pond Marginal Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eLobelia cardinalis suits pond keepers after a strong flash of colour right at the water's edge. Positioned as a marginal, it gives the margin a run of red blooms set against dark green foliage, creating a focal point from late summer. Buy it as a single basket-grown plant or as a pack of three young pot-grown plants, so you can match quantity to the space you're planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLobelia cardinalis is a marginal pond plant that holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Positioned at the water's edge, it gives the margin a mirrored flash of red flower spikes set against its green foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits pond keepers building up colour along the margin, and it gives that part of the planting a strong red focal point once the flowers open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat you get depends on which option you choose. The 1 litre size supplies one plant already growing in a 1 litre mesh aquatic basket, ready to lower straight into the pond. The 9cm pot, pack of 3, supplies three individual plants, each in its own 9cm pot, which will need potting into a mesh basket before planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this plant apart within a marginal planting is the combination of slow, compact growth and its RHS Award of Garden Merit rating. Maintenance stays light: trim to keep it tidy, and let the foliage die back naturally over autumn and winter, since this is what triggers next year's bud formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSun\/Shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun to part shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAugust \u0026amp; September\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRHS AGM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes (RHS Award of Garden Merit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLittle maintenance is required.
