Lobelia Riviera Midnight Blue is a compact, mounding variety of annual or tender perennial lobelia, highly prized for its exceptionally early and profuse flowering. It produces a dense cover of tiny, dainty navy blue blooms, each often featuring a contrasting white eye, creating a beautiful and delicate texture.
With a mature height of only about 5 inches, this lobelia maintains a tidy, ball-shaped habit, making it an ideal "spiller" plant for hanging baskets and containers, or a perfect edging component for borders and rock gardens. It thrives in partial sun and moist, well-drained soil, blooming vigorously from mid-spring well into the fall, and is often noted for its good frost tolerance early in the season.
