Available for purchase are 15 seeds from my Great Blue Lobelia. Occasionally, they will bloom a pure white form and can only reproduce by division or stem cuttings. Tall plants may need staking, but they bloom even if they fall over. Cut back flower stalks for repeat blooming. Hummingbids love the sweet nectar! These prefer a little more moisture than the cardinalis, but well worth the effort.
