Notes
'Lobstrahob' lobelia (Lobelia erinus 'Lobstrahob') is an erect 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 sits low on the menu for deer. It blooms in early to late spring, draws butterflies and bees, and tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Supertunia Vista Bubblegum petunia, Sedge, and Bellflower.
