Looks unusual for me, I've seen tall lobelia in Liga's garden, but it is purple, and doesn't look similar with your's.

Dont tell to nobody latine name..:))Joke!Flowers look simmilar,like to mine.I like Blue Cardina.Very nice,i think if put them bouth beside (red+blue) they have to look very nice together.How tall is it growing?

Poor plant.

Yes a horrible name but a lovely plant.  Liga I have Crocosmia 'lucifer' beside it and you're right - the blue and red are very nice together.

I like that blue, I must say.

Lovely Plants Alison is it hardy? and what sort of conditions does it like?

It is hardy - its a native of Missouri in particular.  I think it likes praire-type conditions.  I'll try dividing it and keeping seeds for anyone who'd like to try it.

I would'nt mind some seed Alison, where did you get it from originally?

I got it from a garden in Longford -  Snaily garden.  Unfortunately I just missed their open day this year so they probably sold most of their plants, but I got loads of good stuff there last year.
