Lobelia -
Cambridge Blue :
The Lobelia
Cambridge Blue,
'Lobelia erinus', is
a low growing ground
cover with soft,
clear, light blue
flowers massed over
the top of the
plant. The foliage
is not often seen
because of all the
flowers which bloom
from spring to fall.
In mild winter
areas, Lobellia will
grow and bloom
during the winter.
The light blue
flowers are 1/4 inch
tubular blooms. The
Cambridge Blue
catches your eye
with dazzling,
vibrant color
whether in a pot, a
rock garden, a
border, or a basket.
Cambridge Blue
Lobelia prefers full
sun. In extremely
hot summer
locations, some
afternoon shade is
recommended. Place
the Lobelia in
fertile, rich, well
drained soils and
keep the soil moist.
Plant in the spring
after the last
average frost date
or late summer in
warmer climates.
Lobellia take a long
time to germinate,
so consider starting
them inside.
