Lobelia Erinus, commonly known as trailing lobelia, is a flowering plant native to southern Africa. It is popular in gardens for its vibrant blue, purple, or white flowers that bloom from spring to fall. The plant typically grows 6 to 12 inches tall and spreads widely, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets and container gardening. This perennial plant thrives in well-drained soil and prefers partial to full sun. Lobelia Erinus is often used in landscaping for its cascading effect and ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. It is also known for its tolerance to cooler temperatures, adding color to gardens even in early spring.
