Flutterjoy™ 'Neon Nights' Cardinal Flower (Lobelia)

(Cardinal Flower) Bring bold color and plenty of pollinator activity to the late-season garden with Lobelia FLUTTERJOY™ 'Neon Nights'. Brilliant neon-pink flowers are displayed on upright spikes above dark, bronze-toned foliage, creating a dramatic contrast from midsummer into early fall. The combination of vivid flowers and deeply colored leaves gives this perennial interest even before the first blooms begin to open.

Hardy in USDA Zones 6-10, this Lobelia grows approximately 36-42 inches tall and 18–24 inches wide, adding vertical interest without taking up a large amount of garden space. FLUTTERJOY™ 'Neon Nights' performs best in full sun to part shade and appreciates soil that stays consistently moist. Its preference for moisture makes it especially useful in garden areas that naturally stay a little wetter.

The colorful flower spikes invite hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees into the garden, providing an important source of nectar later in the growing season. Lobelia is also considered deer and rabbit resistant, an added benefit where browsing can be a challenge. The upright flower spikes can be cut and enjoyed in fresh arrangements as well.

With its connection to North American native Lobelia, this selection combines native heritage with a distinctive garden look. From its dark foliage to its electric pink flowers, Lobelia FLUTTERJOY™ 'Neon Nights' provides outstanding color, texture, and wildlife appeal as summer begins to wind down. Lobelia FLUTTERJOY™ 'Neon Nights' is part of the Proven Winners® perennial collection.
