Lobelia is the perfect low-maintenance plant for every gardener. Its stunning color and charm lasts from spring to fall. Enjoy its compact beauty and showstopping florals!
One of the best things about North American native lobelia is that it's irresistible to butterflies and hummingbirds; it also adds bold, dramatic texture to your yard
Be sure to include it in your butterfly or hummingbird garden, it thrives in meadow or prairie style gardens, as well as traditional garden beds and borders where its spikey texture adds contrast to other plants
Lobelia draws the eye with its delicate, dainty blooms; while it's available in red, violet or white, its blue blooms are electric
Water plants often the first year; once established, water three times per week
This plant is happiest in partial sun; it struggles in full sun when summer temperatures are intense; pinch back the tips of the plant to keep it full
Additional soil may be required based on type of decorative container size and volume

Feed with compost in landscape beds or with an all purpose fertilizer as needed in pots and containers; follow label instructions
