Which is which please

I thought my lobelias were all the same variety until they started flowering, I have found the labels, one is 'cardinalis Queen Victoria' the other is 'Russian Princess'. Brut can anyone tell me which is which? Thank you.

    Thank you both.

  • BTW slugs and snails love to eat them!

    The slugs n snails seem to have kept away, but any idea what this damage is to one of the Q.Vics?

  • Scorch perhaps, i.e. water on the leaves in hot sun

    I try not to water in hot sun but guess I must be guilty as charged, Fleurisa.image

    Yep Verdun, it could be doing much better than it is and again I could be doing better as well...image but can also live with it doing ok rather than fab..image. I do like it where it is but will consider moving it next year to somewhere damper or watering more where it is.  OOO I could build a pool around it, solve all issues in one fell swoop. image

    Agreed, 'working towards' fab. Off to water now, lots of watering!
