  • Vibrant Blue Flowers: Great blue lobelia produces stunning, tubular-shaped flowers that are typically bright blue, although they can sometimes be violet or lavender. These flowers have two lips, with the lower lip acting as a landing pad for visiting pollinators.

  • Habitat and Range: This wildflower is often found in moist to wet habitats, including the edges of streams, wet meadows, and low-lying areas. Its native range extends from eastern Canada down to the southeastern United States.

  • Attracts Pollinators: Lobelia siphilitica is highly attractive to pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies. The tubular flowers are designed for pollinator access, and their nectar-rich blooms provide essential food sources during the late summer and early fall.

  • Hummingbird Magnet: Great blue lobelia is especially popular with hummingbirds due to its flower shape and nectar content. It is an important plant for supporting these colorful, nectar-feeding birds during their migration.

  • Ornamental Use: Beyond its ecological value, Lobelia siphilitica is cultivated for its ornamental qualities. It is a popular choice for native plant gardens, rain gardens, and naturalistic landscapes, adding a burst of vibrant blue color to these settings.

Care Instructions

Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
