Notes
'Riviera Blue Eyes' lobelia (Lobelia erinus 'Riviera Blue Eyes') 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. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms in early to late spring and draws butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Vinca, Parrot's beak, and Break Out dahlia.
