pretty much like the Great Blue Lobelia to me. These are in bloom here along
with the L. cardinalis and the great blue. For drop-dead color the species
L. cardinalis and Ruby Slipper can not be beat. Real show-stoppers in the
garden.

Gene:

I've been through some of my books and can't find your plant references. I was unable to find a reference for L. gerndii (although I found L. X gerardii - assume a typo??):-)

I suspect the cross you're referring to is L. X gerardii 'Vedrariensis' . Note that 'Vedrariensis' is the cultivar not another species.

Other than that - I hope the plant is great! :-)
