Description

Deep, rich, and wonderfully dramatic – Lobelia ‘Midnight Blue’ offers a cascade of intense violet-blue blooms that look stunning in containers, hanging baskets, and window boxes. Its compact trailing habit and profusion of flowers make it perfect for softening edges and adding depth to colour schemes. Try pairing it with white petunias, silver-leaved foliage, or pale pink diascia for a lush South London summer display.
