Basket Dark Blue Lobelia

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.

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.
