Prefers consistently moist to wet, fertile soil and should not be allowed to dry out during hot weather. Performs best in full sun in cooler climates and partial shade in warmer regions. Apply a layer of mulch to help retain soil moisture. Remove spent flower spikes to encourage a tidy appearance and allow self-seeding if desired. Cut back old growth in late fall or early spring before new shoots emerge. Fertilization is generally unnecessary in rich soils. Hardy and well-suited to Canadian gardens in Zones 3–9.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #1f2124;\"\u003eImages Courtesy of Ball Horticultural Company \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003eof Ball Seed or \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ballseed.com\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ewww.ballseed.com\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scott's Nursery Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon Pot","offer_id":47210726326409,"sku":"G15212","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3576\/1033\/files\/G15212Lobeliacardinalis.jpg?v=1783440139","url":"https:\/\/www.scottsnurseryonline.com\/products\/lobelia-cardinalis-1","provider":"Scott's Nursery Ltd.
