A more heat tolerant lobelia than most cultivars, Laguna Compact Blue with Eye is a wonderful choice for mild to warm climates. Midwest and Northern gardeners will have a nearly constant display of blossoms on this sun loving annual. Its lovely white apron contrasts beautifully with the true blue petals and medium green foliage to make a wonderful hanging basket or container plant for your porch or patio.

Native to South Africa, Zones 9a through 11b, it is grown as an annual in Zones 2-8. Plant out after the danger of the last frost has passed and it will bring you bright blue blossoms from spring to summer. In hot climates, the blooms may flush out until the temperatures cool once again, but the Laguna series of lobelia are specifically bred to tolerate more heat. Lobelia are also considered to be very deer resistant.

Laguna Compact Blue Lobelia Care

This semi-compact low growing annual requires little care on your part once established. It enjoys full sun with light shade in hotter regions, and moderately moist soil. Water only when the top couple of inches of soil has dried. Give it well draining soil with a pH range of 5.8 to 6.2 and it benefits from regular weekly feedings with a water soluble fertilizer when planted in containers. Dressing with compost should be sufficient for landscape plantings.

Lobelia does not need to be deadheaded as it self cleans its blossoms, but it will benefit from a light pinching or pruning to encourage branching and increased blooms. If hot weather causes it to flush out and stop blooming, lightly shear the entire plant to encourage new growth and blossoms when temperatures cool.

Laguna Compact Blue Lobelia Spacing

Growing up to only 12 inches tall and spreading out 12 inches wide, you can space these plants 6-8 inches apart. This makes container planting easy and this plant pairs nicely with other low to medium height annuals and vertical spike grasses and flowers. Capitalize on the addition of its true blue color in your hanging baskets, containers, borders and edgings in your cottage garden.
