Lobelia 'Starship Blue'
This variety has stunning large spikes of deep violet-blue flowers and rich green, narrow foliage; looks wonderful in mass plantings along borders.
Starship Blue Lobelia is an herbaceous perennial with a rigidly upright and towering form. Its medium texture blends into the garden but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition.
This is a relatively low maintenance plant and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds to your yard. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Starship Blue Lobelia features showy spikes of violet flowers with blue overtones rising above the foliage from mid summer to early fall. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its pointy leaves remain green in colour throughout the season.
Starship Blue Lobelia will grow to be about 24 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 18 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 14 inches apart. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 5 years. As an herbaceous perennial, this plant will usually die back to the crown each winter and will regrow from the base each spring. Be careful not to disturb the crown in late winter when it may not be readily seen!
Starship Blue Lobelia is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. With its upright habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. It is even sizeable enough that it can be grown alone in a suitable container. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.
