Lobelia erinus Crystal Palace

Common Name: Lobelia 'Crystal Palace'

Description:
Lobelia erinus 'Crystal Palace' is a compact, trailing annual renowned for its masses of rich, deep blue flowers that bloom profusely from spring through autumn. The vibrant blooms contrast beautifully against its bronzed-green foliage, making it a standout in garden beds, borders, hanging baskets, and pots. This fast-growing plant thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained, moist soil. 'Crystal Palace' is perfect for edging pathways or spilling over containers, bringing continuous colour to the garden. Regular deadheading encourages prolonged flowering, and although it is an annual, it may self-seed in favourable conditions.
