Re: Lobelias?

Hello Nancy,
    Try again on Ruby Slippers. It has been in my garden for over 3 years
now and doing just fine. Will be almost 5 feet in height when it finishes
the blooms. Not straight up, though. Has a tendency to need staking in my
garden... does not get it, but would look better with it. It certainly is a
pretty shade of ruby.
