Lobelia

Overview

Has bright blue flowers are in the axils of leafy bracts and form an elongated cluster on a leafy stem.

Water

Blue lobelia grows best in moist soil, so regular watering results in the healthiest plants and attractive flowers. The plant needs watering about twice a week, especially during dry periods, so the top 6 inches of soil remain moist at all times.

Light

Performs best with full sun to partial shade and rich, well-draining soil. Choose a site that receives at least 4-6 hours of direct sun.

Soil

Slightly acidic soil with a relatively low pH between 5.5 and 6.5.
