{"product_id":"lobelia-cardinalis-queen-victoria-9cm-potted","title":"Lobelia cardinalis 'Queen Victoria'","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Queen Victoria' is a cardinal flower prized for the contrast between its deep beetroot-purple stems and leaves and tall spikes of vivid scarlet flowers from midsummer into early autumn. It brings rich colour to damp borders, bog gardens and pond margins, and works well in late-summer schemes with grasses and darker foliage. It also makes a striking container plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in moist to wet, fertile soil in sun or partial shade, never letting it dry out in summer. It holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit but is only hardy in milder parts of the UK (RHS H3), so mulch the crown in autumn or overwinter young plants under cover. Protect new growth from slugs. The flowers attract bees. All parts are harmful if eaten and the sap is a skin irritant, so wear gloves when handling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lincspplants","offers":[{"title":"9cm Potted","offer_id":54540710150491,"sku":"LOB-QUEVIC-9CMPOT","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/1590\/9979\/files\/LobeliaQueenVictoria_da4c376f-8033-45a2-90eb-aec6d42ec522.jpg?v=1758714216","url":"https:\/\/www.lincsplants.com\/products\/lobelia-cardinalis-queen-victoria-9cm-potted","provider":"Lincspplants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
