Notes
'Cambridge Blue' lobelia (Lobelia erinus 'Cambridge Blue') is a plant for rock gardens, pollinator gardens, and accents. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms from early to late spring, draws butterflies and bees, and tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Supertunia Vista Bubblegum petunia, Sedge, and Bellflower.
