Lobelia: Cambridge Blue - Seeds & Bulbs

Lobelia
Cambridge Blue
(Lobelia erinus)

Cambridge Blue Lobelia has many fans who love its soft, subtile, light blue flowers. Looks great in a pot, a rock garden, a border, a hanging basket, or anywhere a touch of color is needed.

Under ideal growing conditions, Lobelia will reseed.
