Rich, velvety and beautifully striking, Lobelia ‘Midnight Blue’ is a standout flowering plant known for its intense deep blue to near-purple blooms, often highlighted with a tiny white eye. The colour is truly eye-catching, adding depth and contrast to any garden display.
This compact yet trailing variety produces masses of small, delicate flowers that create a soft, cascading effect—perfect for hanging baskets, pots, window boxes or edging garden beds. It flowers generously through the cooler to mild seasons, bringing long-lasting colour when many other plants are slowing down.
Despite its delicate look, Midnight Blue is easy to grow and incredibly rewarding, making it a favourite for adding a touch of elegance and richness to mixed plantings.
Tip: Keep the soil consistently moist and give plants a light trim if they start to look tired—this will refresh growth and encourage a new flush of flowers.
