Basket Dark Blue Lobelia (Lobelia erinus Magadi 'Basket Dark Blue', syn. 'Klele12095') is a superb, richly colored trailing lobelia from the Magadi Series, prized for its prolific production of deep, saturated dark blue flowers that cascade in a dense, continuous curtain of vivid color from spring through fall. The Magadi breeding program is celebrated for producing exceptionally vigorous, free-flowering trailing lobelias with outstanding weather tolerance and superior summer performance — and 'Basket Dark Blue' is one of its most stunning and reliably beautiful selections. The small, jewel-toned dark blue blooms are produced in such profusion that they virtually smother the fine, trailing stems beneath an unbroken cascade of intense blue color, creating a breathtaking display in hanging baskets, window boxes, and mixed container arrangements.

These Professional Grade 4" plants are grown to the highest nursery standards, delivering well-rooted transplants that establish quickly and bloom with exceptional consistency throughout the cool-to-warm growing season. Basket Dark Blue Lobelia thrives in full sun to partial shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil and is particularly outstanding in hanging baskets and elevated containers where its trailing habit can cascade freely and display its intense blue color to full advantage.

  • Intense Dark Blue Cascading Blooms: Prolific, continuous production of deeply saturated dark blue flowers smother the trailing stems in an unbroken curtain of vivid jewel-toned color from spring through fall.
  • Outstanding Hanging Basket & Container Plant: Vigorous trailing habit cascades beautifully from hanging baskets, window boxes, and elevated containers — one of the finest trailing lobelias available for creating a dramatic blue cascade in elevated summer displays.
  • Superior Magadi Series Performance: Magadi breeding delivers exceptional vigor, free-flowering habit, and outstanding weather tolerance — maintaining dense bloom coverage and vibrant color through a wider range of conditions than standard trailing lobelia varieties.
  • Rich Jewel-Toned Blue Color: Deep, saturated dark blue is one of the most sought-after and difficult-to-achieve colors in the summer garden — Basket Dark Blue Lobelia delivers this coveted hue in spectacular, continuous abundance.
  • Versatile Sun & Shade Performer: Adapts beautifully to full sun and partial shade conditions, performing reliably in a wider range of light exposures than many other trailing lobelia varieties.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun to partial shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil. Water regularly — do not allow to dry out. Frost-sensitive — plant after all danger of frost has passed. Blooms most prolifically in cool-to-warm conditions; may slow in peak summer heat but typically rebounds with cooler fall temperatures. Trim lightly midseason to encourage fresh, vigorous new growth and sustained bloom production. Excellent for hanging baskets, window boxes, containers, and mixed summer plantings seeking rich, cascading dark blue color.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!
