This seed selection from Germany has long been a nursery favorite. The sumptuous dark red flowers have a velvety sheen. They rise in dense racemes on tall, sturdy stems emerging from a very tight crown of basal rosettes. The foliage is dark green complementing the richness of the flowers. Individual flowers have a wide, 3-lobed lower lip with two upright lobes like rabbit ears above. Our plants of Lobelia x speciousa `Fan Tiefrot' are very often a gathering place of hummingbirds.
Summer to autumn. 32 in. x 9 in.
