Lobelia
Description
Lobelia valida is a perennial plant known for its striking blue or purple flowers that attract pollinators. This plant is native to South Africa and thrives in moist, well-drained soil. It typically grows to a height of about 1 meter, forming a dense clump of foliage. The flowers are often tubular, and appear in clusters, creating a vibrant display. Lobelia valida prefers full sun to partial shade and can tolerate a variety of soil types, though it flourishes in slightly acidic conditions. Pruning spent flowers encourages continuous blooming. Propagation is best achieved through seed or division of established clumps, providing an easy method for gardeners to expand their collection.
