blue lobelia



A mid-height plant with tall columns of flowers, Great Blue Lobelia Lobelia siphilitica stands out from the green grasses and foliage in several places around the pond.  

This Lobelia started blooming in late July.  Its native wildflowers will continue showing clear blue blooms through the autumn as the individual flowers open starting at the bottom of each column.

It attracts butterflies, and provides a color contrast to the gold and yellows of other late summer blooms.
