This is a new and unusually marked variety of lobelia, sure to be much sought after this summer. Groundbreaking Lobelia Great Rift offers heavily branched, mound-forming beauties which bloom from early summer right through to early autumn for up to four months of wonder. Bold blue and purple blooms are shattered by fresh, white variegation, with every flower being different to its neighbour for dramatic impact. The 20cm trailing habit means that flowers form cascades of colour which are sure to draw in curious eyes to investigate further. Groundbreaking Lobelia Great Rift Collection may even stop visitors and neighbours in their tracks to reassure themselves these plants are what truly what the appear to be. Perfect for pollinators the open flowers are easily accessible with a pair of bright yellow beacons at their centre. Plant Groundbreaking Lobelia Great Rift Collection in well-drained soil of any type which benefits from either full sun or partial shade. A half-hardy annual which reaches a height and spread of 30cm and will fade with the onset of colder weather so should be composted down at the end of the season.
