Each pot contains a mix of two Lobelia varieties, both grow to 15cm tall in moist soils (don't let them dry out!) and full sun or partial shade. Both have deep bue flowers with bronze foliage and they are great in containers as well as flower beds.
Riviera Midnight Blue is an early flowering variety while Crystal Palace flowers later from summer into autumn. Growing the two together means you will get a great long-lasting display.
