Lobelia cardinalis ‘Mini’ is a naturally occurring mutation of the classic Lobelia cardinalis, discovered during Tropica’s cultivation. It features smaller, rounder, brighter green leaves that sit closer together, creating a compact, low?growing bush. Unlike the standard form, the Mini rarely sends up tall vertical shoots, making it perfect for foregrounds and midground transitions. Tropica’s 1?2?Grow cup ensures a clean, algae?free start.
