There is nothing like lobelia to give a bright jolt of color to a garden bed. You can see this little patch of 'Purple Palace' across the entire yard. Although technically it is an annual, it lasts a few years in our climate. Here it is mixed in with white bacopa under some roses and daylilies. I love the intensity of the color!

A Jolt of Color
There is nothing like lobelia to give a bright jolt of color to a garden bed. You can see this little patch of 'Purple Palace' across the entire yard.

Now why don't I have this beautiful plant?
ReplyDeleteI love Lobelia. Our season for growing it is over however. It is too hot for its liking right now.

It really is an intense blue! So pretty. I have some growing in my 3-tiered container (which is mostly shade). I think it's a wonderful annual too (nice for you it lasts a few years). I spent a little time checking out your latest posts. I'm having trouble getting around to blogs this summer. Your passion & jasmine vines are gorgeous. Hope you're enjoying your summer.
ReplyDeleteI love that color of lobelia. I grow this as a winter annual every year since it doesn't like our summer heat.
