Lobelia cardinalis Black Truffle PP 25687 Bog Garden Plants do not cut the branchesLobelia cardinalis 'Black Truffle' is an exceptional selection of our deciduous native (Canada south to Florida) cardinal flower from West Virginia plantsman Peter Heus. The purple black foliage color holds very well through the year and is a nice color backdrop to the 4' tall spikes of bright red, hummingbird magnet flowers in early August.
