Lobelia erinus has small, two-lipped flowers and both upright and trailing garden forms.
Flowers and foliage
This catalogue list concentrates on named edging references. Moisture matters: the species tolerates drought poorly and usually performs better in cool conditions than in intense summer heat. Flower colour and foliage colour are separate selection features.
Compact plants, foliage and flower colour
Cambridge blue is documented for pale blue flowers on compact upright plants; Crystal Palace combines dark blue flowers with bronze-green foliage. These contrasting references give seed retailers a concrete comparison for a bulk assortment.
