Notes

'Mrs Clibran' lobelia (Lobelia erinus 'Mrs Clibran') is grown 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 attracts butterflies and bees. Deer tend to pass it by. The erect plants are also drought tolerant.

Pairs well with Dark Star ceanothus, Break Out dahlia, and Citronella grass.
