Bring the breath-taking beauty of Chile's exotic perennials to your garden with Lobelia tupa, also known as Devil's Tobacco. This impressive plant is renowned for its striking blood-red flowers that sprout from tall spires that can reach heights of 6 to 8 feet. Accentuated by an orange throat revealed as the flowers bloom, these dramatic twists of color are a summer spectacle you cannot miss. The large, pale green leaves offer a beautiful contrast, making it a hummingbird favorite. This hardy plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, sprouting anew every mid-spring from its base. Originally from Valparaíso down to Los Lagos in central Chile, Lobelia tupa can withstand colder climates; simply add a layer of mulch in the first few winters. This stunning perennial is a great addition for a spot of color, particularly in the late summer when other plants have stopped blooming.

A spectacle to watch, it also doubles as an irresistible cut flower. With Lobelia tupa
