Lobelia Plants

Lobelia may also be known to you as "Indian Tobacco", a name derived from Native Americans utilizing this 'herb' medicinally for relief from asthma-like conditions. Lobelia plants are actually still in use today as a healing herb, but are more commonly used by those gardeners who love its star-shaped flowers in all shades of blue, from the deepest sapphire to the lightest sky blue.


Lobelia, pronounced loe-BEEL-yuh, typically loves cooler climates, but the development of new hybrids is resulting in Lobelia plants that thrive even in the desert southwest in all but the hottest, sunniest areas of your yard. Lobelias make perfect container plants and also perform well as a ground cover or in borders.
