‘Starship Blue’ goes above and beyond the expectations of the standard Lobelia. This plant features its sturdy, upright, spires packed with dark blue blossoms from early summer into the fall. They attract butterflies and support bees. Plant them in containers or use them in borders or beds with plenty of sunlight. Also, make sure to cut some flowers to keep inside as these beauties make excellent cut flowers.
