Infuse your summer borders with the royal elegance of Lobelia 'Hadspen Purple', a sophisticated hardy perennial prized for its intense, jewel-toned blooms. From midsummer through to early autumn, this upright variety produces tall, sturdy spikes smothered in deep velvety-purple flowers, each featuring a subtle white throat that makes the colour 'pop'. Its lush, lance-shaped green foliage provides a clean backdrop for the dramatic floral towers, which are a magnet for bees and butterflies. Reaching a mature height of approximately 60–75cm, 'Hadspen Purple' is an exceptional choice for adding vertical interest to cottage gardens, damp borders, or large patio containers. Remarkably reliable and easy to grow, it thrives in moist, fertile soil and performs best in full sun or partial shade, delivering a continuous burst of regal colour.
