Add Lobelia Lucia Dark Blue (Lobelia erinus) to your garden to add a dash of that hard to find blue colored flowers to your garden or container. The small, thin leaves of the green foliage will be mostly hidden when this plant is in full bloom in the spring and summer. Its mounded shape will grow 6 to 12 inches high with a 12 to 24-inch spread. Lobelia Lucia Dark Blue will grow best in part to full sun conditions.

This award-winning plant will bloom continuously throughout the growing season in the ground or in the spiller role in a container garden. It will trail 24 inches over the top of the container or window box. The flowers will attract birds and butterflies. Lobelia are deer resistant and are great annuals for areas with heavy deer populations. 

Laguna Dark Blue Lobelia Care

If you’re growing this plant in a container, allow the soil surface to dry out between waterings and make sure the pot has a drainage hole. Lobelia does not like wet feet. Lobelia Lucia Dark Blue will continue to bloom without deadheading. Lobelia may temporality stop blooming if the night temperature remains above 70 degrees for an extended time. Give the plant a trim to encourage a flush of new growth and more blossoms after the nighttime temperatures drop. Lobelia can also be trimmed to keep its size in check. Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost to your flower beds annually for best plant performance and flower production. Fertilize container-grown plants monthly or as directed on the package.

This plant is typically grown as an annual, but it is hardy in zones 9 to 11. It may survive indoors as a houseplant in full sun conditions.

Laguna Dark Blue Lobelia Spacing

Space individual plants 6 to 10 inches apart, center on center, in your garden. They may be spaced 3 to 4 inches apart from each other and other plants in a container. The blue flower color looks great when paired with bright colors or pastels.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
