some gorgeous herbaceous perennial lobelias too.

My favorite color is blue, so I go absolutely giddy every spring when annual lobelia plants start showing up at my local nursery.


Not only do many varieties have true blue flowers, a rarity in the garden world, many also love cool weather and are in full splendor during spring and fall. They are a must-have for my spring containers, and anywhere else in my garden where I want to add a blast of blue.
