Notes
'Crystal Palace' lobelia (Lobelia erinus 'Crystal Palace') is a plant for pollinator gardens, rock 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. It blooms from early to late spring and draws butterflies and bees. It is also drought tolerant. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Sedge, Bellflower, Supertunia Vista Bubblegum petunia, and Anemone.
