Make a great start to the gardening year by planting this long-blooming, bright violet-purple beauty. Laguna® Ultraviolet™ lobelia was bred to better handle the summer heat than other varieties. Growing 6-12 inches high, it is low mounding making it ideal for the front of the border. Or combine it with Superbells® Grape Punch and Superbena® Sparkling Amethyst for a stunning combination container.
This lobelia has no disease or pest problems. You will love how it attracts birds and butterflies. It is native to South Africa and, interestingly, named after a sixteenth-century Flemish botanist. In its role as a filler, plant it in mixed borders, containers, and hanging baskets. Use it in the landscape as an edging plant or in mass plantings. Lobelia are considered to be deer resistant and shouldn't be bothered unless the deer have no other food sources around.
Laguna® Ultraviolet Lobelia Care
This easy-care plant just needs a midsummer, light application of fertilizer to promote new growth and flowering. No deadheading is needed, but you may want to cut the plant back after each flush of flowering to encourage new blossoms.
This lobelia requires average watering – it is important to note that it does not like wet feet, so provide good drainage in containers. In the landscape, plant in moist, well-drained soil in part sun to sun.
Laguna® Ultraviolet Lobelia Spacing
Space young plants 6 inches apart. They have a spread of 12-24 inches. This will provide enough room for air circulation between plants, to ensure the plants stay healthy.

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.

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.
