Locust Tree

Locust Tree - These tall Lobelias have a great attraction for me, and my experience of their ways may be of use to others. The Cardinal Lobelia is a hardy one, grows in the colder parts of N. America, on the fringe of lakes, and hardy in England. Brilliant, but not so fine as the more southern species splendens. This I never like to be without, and find it not so easy to succeed with, though it lives through the winter in Irish sea-coast gardens. With me it is very difficult to keep over winter owing to the attacks of minute insect enemies. It must have a peaty soil, plenty of water, and be carefully housed in autumn. In the west, with a greater rainfall, it grows stronger, sometimes over 5 feet high.
