Lobelia erinus Riviera Midnight Blue

Common Name: Lobelia 'Riviera Midnight Blue'

Description:
Lobelia erinus 'Riviera Midnight Blue' is a compact, mounding annual prized for its intense, deep midnight-blue flowers that bloom in abundance from spring through autumn. Its vibrant blooms contrast beautifully with its fine, dark green foliage, creating a stunning display in garden beds, borders, containers, and hanging baskets. This fast-growing variety thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained, moist soil. It is a perfect edging plant, adding a rich splash of colour to any landscape. Regular deadheading encourages continuous flowering, and although it is an annual, it may self-seed in ideal conditions.
