Product Description

Cardinal Lobelia

Cardinal Lobelia is known as cardinal flower for its bright red flowers from mid summer through fall. It is native to North America. Hummingbirds and butterflies love these fiery-red flower spikes. Cardinal Lobelia is a marginal plant meaning it likes wet, boggy soil, and pond edges. It can also be planted in an aquatic container submerged in 2-4″ of shallow water.

 

Plants for Fish Pond

Plants for your fish pond provide a natural environment and shade for your fish. Plants also provide fish with hiding spots from predators. Soaking up fish waste and extra minerals, plants keep green algae from growing, helping to keep your water clear. Floating leaves give shade to the water, keeping it cooler and stopping algae growth. Fish also often use underwater plants to lay their eggs, as plants offer protection as well. Last of all plants in your pond create natural beauty for you to enjoy!
