Please read our notes before placing the order:
1. The pictures in this listing are examples of the available plant at maturity and do not indicate anything in regard to size of plant at the point of sale.  You will receive an organically produced young plant grown in a 9cm pot for planting immediately or to grow on (pot removed, when possible, to reduce plastic waste)
2. Seasonal difference in plants: Please be aware if you are new to gardening, that the plants we supply are mostly herbaceous perennials and many go dormant in winter. You may receive what looks like an empty pot or piece of root. This will produce new growth in spring.
3. The date the Royal mail label is bought (tracking number added as sent against your orders) is the date your order is lined up for picking.  It is likely to be put into the post a couple of days later. 
Thank you.
 
We suggest growing our divisions in 9cm pots indoors under glass for a few weeks( slugs and snails often destroy very young plants in the border).If these are pinched out to make them branch when a couple of inches high they can give a spectacular show in the first summer, assuming good feeding and watering. 
 
Lobelia 'Russian Princess' is a stunning lobelia forming a  clump of deep burgundy-purple foliage. Tall spikes are produced in late summer
bearing wands of the brightest imaginable magenta-pink blooms. Excellent in containers, moist borders or can be grown in ponds.
In spring, lift and divide every two to three years. Best to lift or cover roots with leaves in winter as they can succumb to cold in severe years.Slug caviar but well worth protecting.
