Lobelia Hot+ Plus Dark Blue

The "True Blue" Solution for Non-Stop Summer Color

Transform your garden with the electric intensity of Lobelia Hot+ Plus Dark Blue. While traditional lobelias often fade when the summer heat kicks in, the Hot+ Plus series is engineered to thrive. This improved variety boasts larger, more vibrant blooms and a dense, well-branched habit that stays lush and colorful from early spring right through the first frost.

Its deep, royal blue flowers—often accented by a tiny, twinkling white eye—create a stunning "carpet" of color that is irresistible to butterflies and hummingbirds.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Superior Heat Tolerance: Unlike older cultivars, Hot+ Plus keeps blooming even during the dog days of summer.

  • Vibrant "True Blue" Color: Delivers a saturated, dark blue-purple hue that is rare in the plant world.

  • Low Maintenance: Naturally self-cleaning; no tedious deadheading required to keep it looking fresh.

  • Versatile Growth: A mounding, semi-trailing habit makes it the perfect "filler" or "spiller" for any arrangement.

Pro-Tip for Success:

To keep your Lobelia looking its best, feed it with a liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks. If the plant ever looks a bit tired in peak August heat, a light "haircut" (trimming back by about one-third) will encourage a massive flush of new growth and blooms for the autumn.
