The Lobelia ‘Magadi Blue Dark’ is a compact, slightly trailing annual, prized for its small, intense dark blue flowers, which create a rich and elegant effect all summer long.
It forms a dense, well-branched plant, ideal for hanging baskets, window boxes, and mixed containers. Its flowering is abundant from spring until the first frosts, especially in cooler weather.
It prefers soft sun to partial shade, in rich, well-drained soil. Regular watering is important, as lobelia does not like prolonged periods of drought.
