About This

• Rapid Blue Lobelia, a dwarf species, is a tender perennial (Zones 10-11), usually grown as an annual, offering spring and summer interest.
• An early bloomer, lush and reliable, it blooms profusely, with masses of showy, dainty, dark blue flowers smothering the long-flowering plant. Borne in large, loose clusters, the flowers attract butterflies.
• A Lobelia erinus, a highly popular traditional garden favorite, also known as edging lobelia or compact lobelia, Rapid Blue has an upright, compact, bushy habit of narrow green leaves.
• It is shown to best effect grouped or massed, as it forms a low, cushy mat of intensely colored blooms. Rapid Blue is perfect for rock gardens, beds, border edges, and containers.
• Rapid Blue Lobelia prefers full sun to dappled shade and organically rich, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It performs best in cool spring weather. The plant may decline in hot and humid summer conditions; so, under those conditions, more shade, consistent water, and a 2-inch layer of mulch is recommended.
