2 Cardinal Flower Starter Plants – Lobelia cardinalis – 2” Pot Size

This listing includes 2 Lobelia cardinalis starter plants, commonly known as Cardinal Flower. These young plants are cultivated in 2-inch nursery pots and may not be fully rooted throughout the cultivation pots. The 2-inch measurement refers to the nursery pot size and does not indicate plant height.

Lobelia cardinalis is a herbaceous perennial native to parts of North America and is recognized for its vivid red flowers and upright growth habit. Its flowers are attractive to hummingbirds and other pollinators, making it useful in native, pollinator, rain, and moisture-loving garden settings.

Cardinal Flower prefers moist soil and can perform well in consistently moist garden locations. Sun requirements can vary with climate and moisture availability, with sun to partial shade generally appropriate. Natural differences in leaf count, foliage condition, and overall appearance should be expected among starter plants.

Shipping Clarification:
The supplied information contains conflicting shipping descriptions. The product-specific description states that the plant will be shipped in a soil pod that should not be removed or disturbed, while the general shipping notice states that plants are shipped bare root and nursery pots are not included. Confirm whether the soil pod remains intact or the plants are shipped completely bare root before publishing.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.

Customer Notice:

Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.

Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.

Due to the perishable nature of live plants, returns are generally not accepted. If there is an issue with your order, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide the required photos for review.

If there is an issue with your order, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide:

• Photos of the shipping box
• Photo of the shipping label
• Clear photos of the plant from multiple angles
• Scratch test photos if the plant appears dead or dormant

Dormant, stressed, defoliated, wilted, or transit-shocked plants are not automatically considered dead.
