Notes
'Regatta Midnight Blue' lobelia (Lobelia erinus 'Regatta Midnight Blue') 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 in early to late spring and draws butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer. Its upright habit and drought tolerance suit it to sunny spots.
Pairs well with Supertunia Vista Bubblegum petunia, Sedge, and Bellflower.
